Amazing wine. 1 hour decant and it was simply stuning. This is elegance and silkiness all the way. In a perfect spot right now and maybe for 2-4 years before it starts to go downhill.

Two decant and it still opened up after four hours of sipping! The initial nose was dark fruit and earth combined with alcohol. within thirty minutes, the alcohol blew off and the dark notes began to gently ease up. Nice blue fruit, dark chocolate notes emerged with some nice spice and loam notes that followed. The tannins lingered on the tongue displaying pointing to the rocky strata that the vines emerged from. At the end, the subtle blending of all of the different elements of the taste profile allowed for an enjoyable end to a great evening of sips. Wish I had a another six pack....

Two hour decant and this well integrated, blue fruit bomb was the perfect accompaniment to my version of La Brie chopped meat burgers, wrapped in hickory-smoked bacon and topped with sharp cheddar cheese. Nice acidity cut through the fat while the fruit, earth and spice notes sang on my palate!

3 hour decant: full bodied, earth tones, dark black cherry, wood, spice, iron, medium sweet tannin. High QPR.
