Pnp. It evolved very quickly continued to evolve for a while started out with heavy chocolate, but fruit emerged quickly. It went through a refried beans phase. It was great for about 5 minutes and then got clumsy for a while. After about 30 minutes, or less, it had cherry chocolate vibe, but not in a good way. Then cassis. Put aside it showed better on day 2. More like the initial impression. Not sure what to do with subsequent bottles

Jason's. Sampled an hour after opening. Beautiful nose. Fruit and a modest amount of wood. Palate is cherry berry fruit and some soft tannins. Will decant.
5 hours in it's hitting its stride. Beautiful nose and rich, rich, round chocolate mouth. Damn shame we didn't give it more time to breathe. Next bottle will wait but you could drink it now with great pleasure with a 5 hour decant.
Faded away at the end. Not sure what to do with it

Nose - smoky berry Mouth - big wine, big big berry but hot on the back palate. Disjointed. Not loving this like the other reviewers below. 89 points, if it were to get an official score.

Same as last notes but this one was decanted about 5 hours and was outstanding. I wish I had bought more and plan to stay away from the remaining bottles for a long while.
