Really pretty aromas of red and black fruit. Palate is rich and balanced with black cherry coulis, spicey plum, white pepper and earth, just a trace of vanilla. Pleasant finish but without length. Drink or hold

Decanted 2-3 hours (sipping at 2, dinner at 3). Absolutely delicious, with plum, cherries, chocolate, and spices. Nice acidity makes this a great food pairing. Probably at peak, but seems like it will hold here for 5-7 more years. Easily 91, but tempted to go 92. Great value.

Cork was moldy on the top. Wine was undrinkably awful. I suspect the cork was bad, though maybe not TCA, as it did not smell or taste of wet cardboard. Probably some other microbial baddie.

Had 1.5 L with friends. It’s really high alcohol but the flavor was great.
