Still drinking well. Whatever funk the previous taster experienced is no longer present. Unless I'm missing it... the alcohol is sharp but there's nice smoke and mouthfeel. Can't identify the fruit but that's one of my many tasting limitations! It's delicious - wish I had purchased more than this one bottle.

Excellent and drinking well. It has dried herb notes of bay leaf and ground black pepper. Dried plums and dates mark the profile of this very full mouthfeel. Very well integrated, drinking beautifully with glass decanting only.

Dark fruit, pepper, and some interesting/enjoyable funk. Couldn't quite figure out what the funk smelled like. The wine was great when paired with a nice medium rare filet. Dark fruit and pepper on the palate. Looking forward to my other bottle.
