Blackberry, plum, olive, some chocolate and a touch of pepper. Concentrated ripe fruit. Big wine, but well balanced, ready now, no rush, but I don’t see this developing further.

Popped and poured. This is a deep red wine with tongue-staining concentration. On the nose, I get blackberry, huckleberry, some subtle pepper, and a touch of smoked meat. In the mouth, this is a full and rich wine, with dark fruit counterbalanced by some nice offsetting acid. The finish is chewy and robust, highlighting blackberry pie and coffee elements. Overall, this is a big, heady, and hedonistic wine – it feels quite young and should have many years left. This is a plainly Paso-style wine. 92+ points.

Not sure why, but this didn't rock my socks. Usually a pretty big fan, but this lacked the complexity and integration of a full-bodied Saxum. The remaining 3 oz was worse/like vinegar on day two.

Decanted for four hours...dark in color with blue fruit and some spice...still some tannins that paired well with lamb...medium finish.

Better than I recalled last time -- from good to very good. The extra age helped. Drinking perfectly now
