Decanted for 2 hours. Served blind in a flight of 4 wines. My #3 and Groups #3 ranked wine. This is much more dark and brooding than the first 2 wines. Cranberry and plum nose, fairly closed but you can tell there's some wonderful fruit locked up in this wine. That fruit is rich and nicely ripe, with a great texture and some drying elements on the finish. Revisit in 5 years.

Impressive nose of dried cranberries and a hint of smoky oak, blood orange will come later, and some charcoal, very interesting at this point as the point of tertiary is still not reached, fruits are still very much present especially on the palate, vibrant, long, ripe and yet precisely sharp... great wine, probably needs a little more time but with an incredible depth and a silky palate... loveable.

rich and round, prominent but ripe tannins typical of the vintage. High quality fruit. A baby, re-visit in another 7-10 years.
