Slow ox 2h, paired with grilled beef & portabella mushroom caps. Showed beautifully with still fresh dark fruit, stony minerality, leather, and early tertiary development. Great balance, Medium ++ length. Holding well, no rush.

Very dry and tanic. Although I enjoyed it a lot, I continue to think that the wine is somewhat overvalued. This wine should be in the bracket of $120 to $150 range IMHO. Will not live many more years, open it now or in the next couple of years. Iron rust, red fruit, tanic, dry.

Decanted for an hour and 20 minutes. Aromas of blackberry, currant, dusty berry, lead pencil and wild cherry. Flavors of iron, chocolate, blackberry, currant and black cherry. Ends with a 40+ second finish with chocolate and iron notes. Still tannic. Going to revisit this in an hour.

Took a while to open up (2-3 hours) and once did was very nice; Med acid, long finish.
