This is not as good as the 2016 or the 2018. Even after an hour, it was still disjointed. Not much fruit and alcohol was strong. I'm not sure why but the wine kept trying to shine but at it's price point, disappointed!

Decanted for an hour and enjoyed over several hours.
A soft and packed nose with plenty of black fruits, Asian spice, chocolate and some vanilla, quite enjoyable.
On the palate the fruits and spices are noteworthy! Plenty of tannin yet balanced with the alcohol gave this a nice mouth feel. Flavors of leather, oak and cigar box helped the finish linger just long enough!
Very Stags Leap in flavor and style and that is a good thing!
