Decanted but notes at 1 hr or so. Nose of bramble berry, pine, leather. A touch astringent; not as integrated. But enjoyable. It's likely that will be improved an hour or so from now. Nice wine. Except too pricey at this character.

Three hour decant. Very deep dark magenta color. Black currant, Black Forest cake, peony, grilled pineapple, and subtle orange zest on the nose. Dry, crushed velvety palate, with good acidity. Firm tannins on the longish finish.
This is fruit forward, but more serious than it sounds. It’s beautifully complex despite my lack of descriptors. 46% CS, 29% Merlot, 20% CF, and 5% PV

Deep red color. Well balanced and very smooth. Nose of dark fruit, pencil shavings and light roses. Finish lasted 30 seconds plus

Well made and smooth. Fruit-forward - I get raspberry vinaigrette.
