Love this wine! On nose, quite Bordelais...damp/estuarial (not sure if this makes sense to others, but for me this is such a classic Bordeaux note...not quite Brett..but some kind of mild swampy funk...in a good way!!!), fresh tuscan bread, cedar box. On palate, gripping tannin that makes you feel ALIVE, mineral, iron, perfect black and blue fruit. I think this is drinking soooo well right now, but it is very, very early in its window! Planning to buy a few more for the cellar.

Mocha, red currants, plums, black cherry, eucalyptus, semisweet chocolate and apothecary. A full-bodied goddess, with layers of primary fruit, and more than enough depth; yet there’s lift and regal aspects. The finish flows and the tannins are fine, with a little cotton. Enjoyable today, time in the cellar would not hurt. One to study, yet there is nay a morsel of guilt for indulging now. Drink 2025 - 2040.

This is a dark beauty. Lots of dark fruit and dark chocolate. Lingering finish that is opulent and brooding. I picked 2 up on a flash sale for $49 each which was a steal i wished I would have bought alot more.

Down marking from previous review. After some more time with this wine, proved hard to love with impressions of a tight arid nature and a stiff austerity, which proved tiresome in the end.
