Decanted and observed over a 12-hour period, this wine is potent and mouthwatering. It seemed to reach its peak between 2 to 4 hours before closing down swiftly. While young, it's approachable when given the right treatment. The nose is rich with notes of black fruit, smoke, cherry, licorice, and graphite. It's well-rounded, complex, and shows signs of longevity. This wine would benefit from a few more years of aging, but it's already very impressive.

PnP from a 375. Dark and deep but easily approachable, the restrained nose reveals tons of graphite, loam and stone as it crosses the palace. While there's an opportunity for this to develop, it doesn't in the least take away from its drinkability today with minimal air. Will get a few more of these and its siblings.

Decanted 3-4 hours seeing as its early to drink but even in its youth you get the blackberry and raspberry and even a touch of floral it seems. Very pleasant wine and worth the extra $$.
