Decanted, which allowed the wine to open over a couple of hours. Aromas of dark fruits and vanilla tones. On the pallet, notes of plums and black cherry with a full round long finish.

91+ it will be better in a year or two, it opened up a lot over the course of 3-4 hours in a decanter. blueberries, black berries, some dark fruits, some graphite, pencil shavings.

This has a beautiful nose of fruit, spice and sweetness; on the palate, was a bit tight and slightly too acidic but resolved to a nice lingering finish. Was in a pinch last night and had this bottle available to bring to dinner - would have liked to let is sit longer, will be 90-91 w/ a little age.

Tasted cooked. Not undrinkable but wasn't showing anything like what I expected.
