Nice fragrant nose, with a deep prominent purple color with hints of brick approaching the meniscus. On the palate, elegant yet penetrating flavors that really showed on day 2 but a bit acidic when I first tasted the wine. Moderately dark berry fruits that were penetrating yet graceful and elegant. With the prominent acidity showing on day one, I believe this wine has some time ahead of it. 90+ on day one, 91++ on day 2.

Notes of red and blue fruit, earth, spice, ceder, and graphite. Full bodied with good depth and intensity on the palate. Not jammy at all. Drinking wonderfully now and has ample structure go for another 4-5 years.

An odd prominent jalapeno note upon opening that mellowed over time. Taste profile continued to be awkward, with green vegetal notes, peppery spice and sour cherry. Definitely a heavy cab-like liqueur finish that hinted that at one time it must have had quite the weight/lushness but was now a mere shell of itself. A bit disappointing.

Said best by my wife. "Pretty, but bold". No reason to hold longer. Enjoy.

Opened tonight and decanted for one hour and served with a T-bone steak, the wine was smooth and easy to enjoy.
