  Double decanted 1 hour prior and it opened over the next hour easily. Deep ruby and purple color. Floral linen and cedar on the nose. Dark cherry, vanilla, a little black pepper, dark chocolate, and dusty, powdery tannins on the tail with 35-40 sec finish. Beautiful Bordeaux influence with a more prominent fruit balance, delicious and nice QPR. Paired nicely with steak pasta but also fantastic without food.

  Full bodied, deep color, no fading. Fragrant, big ripe crushed grapes, berries and jam, char, alcohol - 15% ABV. On the palate is the fruit; plumbs and jam that are enjoyably nuanced, camp fire smoke, cloves, the alcohol. Long finish driven by powdery tannin. An opulent wine that will develop points but could be held back by the alcohol. Excellent now with grilled lamb.
  
  Update: decanted this bottle and on day 3 the wine is even better; reminds me of a classified Pomerol. Revised the rating from 92 to 93. Buying more.

  Deep throated purple. Massive presence. Floral, black fruit. Dark chocolate notes. Makes you sit back and pay attention to the wine. Not for the casual sip, this is a serious wine which demands attention. Long soft finish.
