WOW.!!! This was the star of the evening. Earthy, rich and fabulous. Ripe black fruit and graphite on the nose and an amazingly complex and wonderfully balanced palate. Attack, mid-palate and finish are all clearly delineated and contribute to create a wonderful mouth filling experience

Finally decided to crack this one open. Deep, inky purple. Sediment on the side of the bottle. Nose of briar fruit & faint eucalyptus. Notes of black cherry, bramble fruit, light leather (is that a term?). Tannins are quite dispersed at this point. Some evidence that this is 14.5% ABV. Likely more than that. Definitely time to drink up.

No formal notes - decanted through out 2 hour dinner - evolved nicely. Could actually use more time decanting or in the bottle.. wish I had more..
