Interesting bright fruity aromas that suggest, but do not actually smell like, citrus--orange or tangerine. Not surprisingly there is lots of upfront fruit--blackberry stands out. Also, there is a suggestion of cola. Tar/charcoal sensation under the rear palate. Tannin appears to be reduced but still noticeable.

Opened this hours ahead of time anticipating it needing air but, nope, not necessary, so put the cork back in for later. Really smooth from the get go. Dark fruit, black cherry, plush and velvety mouthfeel. It held together beautifully until the last glass of the evening when it started feeling a bit extracted. So this experience indicates a PnP and consume within a few hours. Additionally, this complemented the New York Strips perfectly. Felt like we got this at its' peak.

Beautiful dark fruit on the nose. Blue fruit, a touch of black cherry, cassis, baking spices and fine tannins. Excellent mid palate feel, with nice structure and a long smooth finish. A really impressive wine. My daughter’s WOTY so far.

Shared with my wine group at a steakhouse. Opened, but not decanted for over an hour before serving. Nice, but the 2013 Delille Four Flags was better.
