Much better than I had expected. Fruit was delicious and full, tannins well integrated. Not hot - only 13.5 alcohol. Easy drinking but with enough depth and complexity to be interesting. Wish I had more.

Some cork damage, but wine was still showing well. Starting to show it's age a bit, the fruit did come out until about an hour after decanting. Some earthtones balance it out. Overall a really nice wine.

This wine is continuing to evolve and gain complexity as it ages. The fruit is still solid, but not as dominant. Secondary flavors of stone and spices are begining to show through. Easy to drink with a long smooth finish.

kind of shocked by how good this was. Some barnyard, blew off. Then opened up nicely with a ton of texture. Very easy to drink. nice integration/balance. Bigger wine.
