Wonderful wine which is probably at it's peak right now. Beautiful garnet color with long legs. Smooth with fully integrated tannins. Cherries and berries. Delicious.

drinking superbly now- no need to wait. Rich fruit has now been complemented by heady aromatics and some nice age; tannins are muted if not gone. Definitely of a style, but really nice.

I got dark fruit on the nose; plum, black cherry with a background of spice, tar, and leather. Taste was more of the fruit with a smooth yet slightly tannic finish that seemed to last a while. I did not find it terribly hot; 14.5 % abv. There was good acid, and it paired well with a grilled bacon wrapped filet topped with a blue cheese butter. Back to brown rice and kale tomorrow.

Big, lush, and purple fruity. Ready to drink now, and I don't think more time will add value. It could flatten out into something not very good at all.
