Consistent with my last tasting note. Day one the wine was tight and not fully integrated but on day 3 the tightness was gone and the fruits separated and the wine smoothed while the tannin mellowed. Under proper storage this wine should hit its peak in 5 to 10 years.

This is a hearty wine almost black in color. Blackberry with dry tobacco. Good acidity hidden by the fruit and a long finish of fruit and sweet, tight tannin. I expect this to integrate better after a few more years of proper storage.

This wine has aged well and has a wonderful mouth feel and deep fruit taste on the palate and lingering. I wish i had many more bottles. Opened about 35 minutes before pouring.
