Wonderful aromas of dark fruit and leather and pine. Tasted fresh out of the bottle upon opening and tannins had noteably softened. Red and dark fruit flavors with rich full mouth-feel. Charred oak finish but not overpowering. Decanted for a couple of hours and it only got better. A stellar wine.

Popped and poured at restaurant. Paired with steak au poivre. Lush fruit, earth and smoked meat on the nose. Dark fruit on the palate, with meatiness and some tobacco notes. This is a big wine, but it's polished. Drinking very well now.
