Very tasty but popped and poured. Could have used a decant to fully realize the potential of this wine. The wine tasted like there was restraint where some extra air would have made this more impressive

Had this with friends after an '07 Cab and a NY Strip. It was very nice, a lot of blueberry, a touch tart, but I think the next two bottles should be either 1) kept a few more years, or 2) decanted for a couple of hours to let it open up and develop a bit. I liked it quite a bit, but thought I was going to like it a little more. 89 pts, but seems like 90-91 pts. quite possible.

Screwcap. Black fruit and black pepper eventually appearing on end. Similar effect on palate. Acidity a little overwhelming on early tasting, fully integrated after24 hours
Medium body, lovely balance

Opened after a local syrah proved to be corked
As pnp, competent with lovely fruit; lacked time for full development
