Opened at 1 and flash decanted and was dumb as a rock hours later. But transferred to a decanter and 7 hours after opening was singing like Frank Sinatra. Rich, dense chocolate, coffee bean.. Long finish. A really great wine. Huge! It's great with a long enough decant but it's going to last a long time

Juicy plum flavors unfold and become more complex after a slow O2 for about an hour. Black cherry, licorice, and gravel notes emerge to add interest. Became a bit stemmy on the final sips (some sediment at the bottom of the bottle). Otherwise, this strikes a notable balance between measured control and flavor expansion.
Paired great with pork meatballs with red wine marinara sauce.

Waited for a special occasion to open this bottle and it didn't disappoint. Smooth texture, great nose and finish. We visited Visa Versa in 2015 and so glad I purchased more. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle.

Round, silky, fruity, a pleasure to drink. Pairs well with chicken fingers, bbq sauce, and sushi.
