Decanted an hour the consumed over following 1.5 hrs. Doing this from memory...

Wonderful garnet color with the tiniest hint of bricking along the rim. Elegant and complex on the nose and palate, with classic dark red fruits and a bit of earth thrown in. Medium body and velvety texture. Persistent finish.

My only bottle so I won't be able to follow up, but would say it's in a great spot now, fairly typical "plateau" stage before going to secondary characteristics.

Thought I'd held this too long but No! Nice dark color all the way to the edge, no bricking. Gave it a short decant and it opened up beautifully with notes of dark cherry, black raspberry and marjoram. Held its own in structure but certainly not a big wine. Delicious!

PnP, worked over three hours. Struck by the intensity and clarity of the wine, cherry and strawberry with a bit of earth to it. No history with this wine but hard to believe it gets much better with more age!
