  Decanted two hours and really opened nicely as took some small tastes on opening and hour one. Medium to full bodied with dark cherry fruit some tobacco. Well balanced. Nice merlot/ cab sauv mixture. Early in its drinking window decanting really helped.

  Year 2015, opened in Nov. 2023 - it was still a fullbody with blackberry, oak and a lots of tannins. It was changing alot within the 2 hours from opening, being very tannin heavy to become very smooth and even "light" - both experiences was good - i believe it could take several more years in the cellar, or just decant it before use. Good with meat.
  The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry. It tastes a little like oak. The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

  Big, generous nose full of purple fruit, gentle oak treatment and dried herbs. On palate on the other hand the wine is precise and elegant but with some tannins that can smoothen out from here. It came together after two hours of air and was a perfect companion to grilled meat. I will hold my other bottles for a couple of years and bet on some upside but with a good decant this is beautiful now.

  This was very good. Wife liked it but gave it 92 because the tannins can still resolve further. Plan to wait at least two more years for the other bottle. Could improve 1-2 points.
