Lovely cherry and strawberry fruit on the palate. Well-integrate tannins. Could go a few more years but lovely now. Allow it to breathe — definitely a broader flavor profile after even an hour out of the bottle.

Aromas of black fried, blackberry, black currant, star anise, something mineral. Fruit's definitely mellowed at this point. Still good fruit, black fruit. I also tasted leather, tobacco. something earthy. Still pretty strong acid and tannins. Could even use a bit more time. Decanted for a couple hours. Great with a steak. Mellowed out the tannins and great and earthy. I liked it less by itself. Very good wine. I think I prefer the Tonella but a different wine. More earthy less smooth.

Poured through venturi and it still needed 30 minutes to show its stuff. Notes of dark berries and chocolate. I think this is excellent, but compared to the Tonella or Stagecoach vineyards, this one seems a bit more one dimensional.

Really needs food and could certainly lay down a few more years to improve.
