  Bright and moderate tannins with Bordeaux blend. Needs a good decant at present but likely a 10 year wine.

  Reminds me of a Margaux on steroids. Not Ch. Margaux / but it’s got that floral, lavender, lilac bent to it.
  
  Concentrated and structured, this is going to need another 4-6 years minimum to start showing its best, but this is already stunning with air.
  
  Highly recommended.

  Pretty nose, dark fruits, violets, cedar. Palate matches, enveloping fruit style, obviously New World, dried vanilla finish, appropriate structure, tasty drink now or hold.

  Deep-dark reddish-purple in color; essentially opaque. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of floral & earthy/dusty notes, spices, herbs, some cocoa notes, anise, leather & a hint of vanilla/oak in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, cocoa, herbs, minerals & a hint of vanilla/oak. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing, but will benefit from & develop further with additional aging.
