Never before have I found winemaker notes so spot on with my palate. I also get smoke on the nose and the finish is not long. But other than that I concur. Drink up now; wine is fading fast after some time in the glass.
"This wine has beautiful blueberry, creamy milk chocolate and lavender aromas with subtler notes of nutmeg, dried cranberry and wild game. On the entry, it is soft and rounded with enticing floral elements, as well as hints of cinnamon and clove from French oak aging. Elegantly textured tannins and rich notes of black plum add to a long, satisfying finish."

Still some good fruit. Complex and smooth

A muscular wine with lots of oak and smoke on the finish, but a bit hard-edged for me, even the day after opening.

I liked and think it may mellow a bit with a year or two of cellar time
