Wow really deep and dark nose is a bouquet of earthiness dark ripe fruit leather and cedar. I think this wine right now was a perfect balance of tannins acid fruit and secondary flavors Lots of spice quickly mellowed by soft fruit lingering finish with hints of anise. One bottle left has a couple of years but it will make a special dinner in July. Enjoyed with some humbolt fog cheese and fig spread.

The nose was intense upon opening - a very good first impression. It settled to a nice cola nose (some fruit, some sweetness, and a little herbal) which carried through to the long finish. The medium-bodied wine was also supported by good acidity and well-integrated tannin. A solid wine all around. (I kind of wish it had a little more pop on the palette.)

Still great, but I think it might be downhill from here. Drink 'em if you got 'em.
