Nice come-up at ~50USD retail. Mild enough that it's no doubt a right-banker with a decade or so of age, flavors still quite young on first day, with plentiful sweet and sharp dark fruits, and now in the second day moving to plums and licorice and even some salty, creamy caramel. Fine tannin still in the swim, acid lifted. Buying and laying for a further 5-7 years if there are any left.

Light fruit, firm tannin, hollow mid palate.
