  This is probably a 99 point wine, it’s just still so wound up it didn’t develop completely even after 5 hours decanted. Untouchable for 3 hours then started showing more than just dark fruit. Graphite, some menthol or eucalyptus , dark chocolate, cigar box, cedar and cassis. 2013 Power. Ink black, stain your teeth gums and lips for a week. Can’t wait to try this again in 5 years!

  Like this a lot. Has aged well but still full of life and guts. Dark with great minerality and earthy undertones. Long lively finish.

  Deep purple in color. This wine took nearly 6 hours of air to finally open up and show blackberry, licorice, baking spices, bay leaf, green tobacco. On the palate it’s dark fruits, drying tannins, and cool Coombsville fruit.

  Had my last bottle three years ago, and told myself to wait at least five. Should have waited. Wine was still no black, young, and tannic. Seems like it could last forever, but not sure if it will improve.

  Decanted for 2 hours and drank with Greek food. Floral aromas with black fruit and crushed rocks. Beautifully balanced with flavors or blackberry, red cherry and blueberry pie. Grippy tannins that loosened up with time.
