Upon opening, it was a little tight, but had a full body with peppery notes. About an hour later, it was rich and full with dark fruits - cherry and blackberry. Leather notes came along in middle with a rich, long finish. This is drinking very well now and I wish I had another bottle to see what it would be like in a year.

Dark berries, mild pepper, and somewhat subdued. Velvety smooth with solid but not overdone oak. Tannins very well balanced. This wine seems to be at its peak. Great effort.

Tabacco, leather and spices. Very nice, but still a bit tight.

Very tight & dense - took a day or two to fully open. Dark fruit, spices, moderate tannin.
