This wine keeps changing, I rate it the same but for different reasons. This btl was more integrated by age but really was a pleasure to drink. Color dark purple, ripping currants, very Syrah like. Med finish. Consumed over 3 days. Drink now.

Decanted, a must, this has aged well, nice fruit integration, low tannins, neutral oak, which lends it to a smooth finish. This wine did not hold up over night, gassed and refrigerated. Drink

This will be an outstanding bottle in another 2 years. I was very impressed with the QPR on this bottle. This has a wonderful fullness to it that you could tell was a bit young for the wine. I feel like this will evolve into a really nice 92-93 point wine over the next 2 years.

deep, opaque purple-black colors; big, rich deep aromas of coffee, mocha; mouth-filling full-bodied mocha follows thru along with hints of burnt rubber (reminiscent of those South African Pinotages), smooth, gripping tannins.
