Muscular, fleshy, and vivacious. More than enough structure to hold up to many years of aging, but supple enough to drink right now. No shortage of oak, but tastefully done, and balances well with dense and dark fruit. Outstanding juice.

Open for 1 hr. Big floral nose with earthy notes. Fresh complex blend of black and blue fruits, black plum, black currant, blueberry. Dark chocolate, white pepper, menthol, cigar. Ample acid, soft tannins. Fruit mellowing after 3 hr into pure elegance. Long, complex finish. Fantastic right now, with great potential for more development.

Peak drinking. Cool blue and black fruit. Silky tannin. Great complexity. Happy and sorry to drink our last bottle.
