First one of these in two or three years. Bodacious, but its most notable attribute was sleek sophistication. Definitely much more refined than rustic, and it hasn't lost a step.

Drank while out for dinner. Decanted about an hour. Nice berry aromas which carried over to the palate. Fig, plum & nicely integrated oak too. Medium tannins. Good structure with a lingering finish. Very enjoyable.

Beautiful fruit and nose upon opening. Mellowed out after an hour after opening. Well integrated tannins. At its sweet spot now

Opened for about an hour before tasting. Seems to be approaching its peak. Perfectly balanced and integrated.
