First of six bottles and this was a pleasant suprise. The wine is purple and opaque with the thinnest crimson edge. Earthy and dark fruit nose with understated herbal and leather tones. The red and black fruit on a surprisingly elegant palate. The finish is inky dark fruit. The mouthfeel is excellent with velvety tannins, fading acidity but nice balance. 5+12+16+8=92

Decanted & aired for four hours before enjoying. Aromas of earth & berries. Still encountering drying tannins. Flavors of berries, oak & espresso. Still has a long cellar life - DRINK or HOLD

Consumed this with grilled pork chops after a decant. It's a lovely food wine and it's in a great place right now. The parts are stitched beautifully together - there's still plenty of fruit on the nose and palate, the tannins have softened, and the oak (aged in barrique) is well-integrated.

Pretty good value for an aged super Tuscan. Drinking well right out of the bottle. Well balanced.
