Smokey meat and dark fruits on the nose and again on the gamey, black and white pepper infused palate. This got darker and broodier after a 2 hour decant and over then next 4 hours. Tannins are well integrated and the finish goes on and on. Drinking very well now and likely at peak for a few more years. Well done.

A thing of beauty. Dark fruit showing maturity, integrated tannins and smooth long finish. This wine and icon are wines that keep me w painted rock, red icon needing tiens to mature.

Good acidity, smooth tannins, berry fruit, smokiness. Nice wine altogether.

Over two days and on day one was in a weird flat phase. Things we’re better on day two with more complexity noted.
