This is a gorgeous wine after a good decant. Lovely deep color, bright berry and red plum against a sturdy backbone. On the fuller side of medium bodied. We have two more bottles and I think this will only improve with age. Can’t wait.

30 minute decant. Nose of dark chocolate, cappuccino, and maraschino cherry. Massive wave of dark plum and black currant is plush yet relatively dry, showing complexity with lilac, iodine, minerals, and blackberry. The tannins seem fairly resolved and the finish is powered by a line of acidity with earth and floral notes.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D’s): Popped and poured with dinner, courtesy of our hosts. Deep crimson red color with notes of plum, red berry fruit, cherry and herbs. Medium-bodied with flavors of macerated red berries, red plum and spice. Excellent. (R&D)

Lovely CdP from Cristia. Came out a bit ripe. 90 minute decant opened up the wine. At about the 3 hour mark, the wine was nicely integrated with dark fruits, herbal notes and soft tannins on the finish. With a good decant, this is a gorgeous wine.
