As suggested by the differences in scores, not as enjoyable as the bottle I had a year ago. Decent, just not that excising. I let it breathe fro a few hours, and it opened up over time, but the flavors were not that deep. Could be bottle variation compared to the last. Oh well.

Solid 90 point bottle. Seamless. Fruit present, but not fruity. It is ESSENTIAL to allow this wine to breathe for a few hours -- at least 2, possibly 3-4. Dramatic change in the wine over this time.

This was quite a surprise...actually still drinking nicely with quick decant. Classic mountain dark fruit, with some earth and tobacco.

Leather and tobacco; long finish. Smooth but not too round, with nicely balanced tannins.
