Poured a small sample upon opening… had a slight funk which blew off in about 30 mins, red fruit, spice. Left it in bottle for 2 hours and returned to it… more pronounced aromatics, red fruit, cola, spice, hint of orange peel, earth, really nice silky mouthfeel, juicy acidity that makes you want to take another sip, long finish. Several notes indicated fading fruit but I found this to be quite delicious.

I opened the bottle and poured a small glass for an initial taste, then went back to it after an hour. I found the nose to be somewhat subdued, but did get little hints of blueberry, cherry, spice and maybe some smoke/almost incense. Very balanced, great mouthfeel and fairly long finish. Overall I liked this wine, but was hoping for a little more aromatically. I have one bottle remaining that I’ll probably hold onto for a number of years and see how it progresses.
