Easily one of the finest RdD in a wide price range. Leather, pepper, mulberry, and grey smoke. Ready to go at PnP, drinking wonderfully now. No notes for night 2; this one was a winner with many this night.

Don't remember too well--but this was moderately oaked, fairly lean but with good concentration, black fruits, smoky, aged black cherry, leather; Style was clearly very traditional, old school. Nice, but obliterated by Korean BBQ (!).

Decanted, but drank right away. Smoke and leather on the nose. Beautiful dark fruit shows through in the color. Some spicy notes and a smooth finish. May drink better in a few years, but we found it fabulous right now.

A notch above very good but I expected more. Maybe in a few years?
