color - Deep inky nose - clean, violet, oregano, thyme palette - blackberry, cocoa, dark covered raspberries, bay leaves, tea leaves finish - long, med/firm tannins structure - well balanced age ability - I love old wine and wish I had at least two more bottles. Knowing what I tasted with the fruit, tannins and overall structure...I wish I waited another 3 to 5 years. Or, decant for an hour.

Decanted 2 hours. Dark, with a light nose. Smoke, game, blood, but faint. Great mouth feel, lightly filling the palate, young bright fruit, subtle oak, tannins are very fine. A nice gamey after taste, lingers. This has 5+ years. Great wine making & juice. Few hours later it added more weigh, texture, some chocolate. Nice.

Solid. Bold and spicey but more balanced than many of it's kind.
