  Drinking beautifully right now. Still quite big. Balanced.

  Faded. Still well balanced and drinkable but the fruit is faded into the background and no real structure or energy
  left.

  Definitely need some air to open up, but when it did firm wine with depths of flavor, smoke and berry, and slight push of acidity. No need to rush to open this and I wish I had more on hand.

  This is an excellent wine - pricey, but worth it for special occasions. While it was very good open first opening, at that point, I thought the Syrah dominated. After an hour, it was totally balanced. A wonderful wine with a lot of complexity (dark and lush) and a long finish.

  Tasted at winery - darkest wine of the day. Black roast, skunk nose, expresso, unsweetened, short finish
