Needed a 30min decant for the strident stuff to blow off. After that, pure concentrated blue and black fruit. Not built for the long haul, but not quite peaking. Try again in 2 years.

Did not enjoy this as well as previous experiences, lots of cassis, licorice, blue fruit with hits of prune and hint of heat, dark fruits on the attack with a slightly drier bitter feel to them, alcohol shows a bit on the mid palate, low acidity and medium length

This wine is drinking beautifully. Decanted for maybe a half hour. Dark berry fruit and a bit of spice. VERY long, lovely finish. Still has plenty of life but I don't think it will improve much. Drink over the next year or two.

Needed time to open but was very good. No sign of being over the top.

Had last night with steak at a fabulous steakhouse. It was awesome! I am so glad I still have a bottle
