Light black fruit, but this is more an Old World wine that a New World fruit forward wine. Some spices and foliage sensations mid- to rear palate. Tannin is completely resolved. If you got 'em. drink 'em. I don't think this wine is falling over the cliff, but I don't thing that additional cellarage is going to yield commensurate benefit.

Decanted for 90 minutes, bold aromatics...floral, plum and black cherry. It was still a bit tight, but came into its own after 2 hours. Oaky with blueberry and cherry, layers of licorice and blackberry jam.

Decanted for an hour, and I cannot believe how delicious this wine is. Aromas of plum and oak, it reminds me of a Paul Hobbs Dr Crane I had recently, but for $60. Flavors of anise, mocha and black fruit persist through a smooth finish.

Big and bold, but not overly fruit forward. In a very nice place and could go a bit longer.

Same as previous notes. Bold black and blue fruit with some licorice and mocha. Very smooth on the finish.
