PnP, but can give a quick decant to remove sediment. Clear medium ruby to lighter rim. Clean nose of dark red fruits and earth. Medium bodied palate of dark red fruits, earth, some spice, and a touch of cedar. Acidity was initially balanced, but became more prominent in the last glass as the fruit began to fade. Definitely drink up by year's end.

Another lovely showing, forward and fragrant with dark cherry and currant fruit, more hints of mint. Tasting note on second day, beginning to dry out but still very tasty. Drink up!

Found that i had two bottles of this rather than one. A really nice surprise as it turned out. Dark and young in color, not much in the way of browning. On the nose there was this immediate minty smell over sweet currnt and berry fruit. Mint note faded with some air, but as it reminds me of some amazing australian cabs i've had, it triggered good thoughts. Medium to full bodied, very smooth and deliciously tasty. Lovely long finish. Excellent wine drinking at peak. Not much acidity or tannins left, so drink up.
