On the nose: cocoa, plum, cherry, vanilla. On the palate: a lush generous mouth feel on display after two hours in the decanter, more plum & blueberry, licorice, with a long finish. Served with grilled prime NY Strip and a mushroom lemon zest risotto. Symphonic!

Pop and poured, through a Centellino. Took about 30 minutes to start opening up, but clearly would've benefitted from a more proper decant. Really drinking well right now. Would hold what I have for a few more years or give it a good couple of hours before approaching. Very good on its own as well.

Very deep and inky purple with powerful nose of prunes, bell peppers,, fennel, vanilla and smoke. Developing wine. Palate: dry, with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, pronounced flavors of black currant, mint, minerals, bitter chocolate. Powerful and long finish with a very good mouthfeel. Very good wine can drink now but will be a lot more enjoyable in 3-5 more years.
