Opened in bottle for an hour. Almost fully ready to go with some tannic grip on the finish. Great depth of flavor but the palate comes off a little chalky/grainy. Nonetheless excellent with plenty of dark chocolate, cassis, espresso, and plums. Has 5-10 years to go. Strain if possible as the bottle produces tons of sediment.

Dark color. On the nose this shows dark red fruits, cassis, flowers, cocoa and oak. This wine is medium full bodied with rich and concentrated fruit. The finish is long with polished tannins and good acidity. This is a modern style and it lacks some depth.

Very nice still. Good fruit with soft tannins and long finish. Still has some time left but excellent now.
