  Dark ruby red with purplish-pink rim. Blackcurrant, cassis, raspberry, strawberry, dark plum, capsicum, Imperial Leather, vanilla, spices, tobacco and wood. Full bodied, medium-high acidity, medium-high tannin, medium-high structure, medium-high alcohol and long finish. Bold, concentrated, multi-dimensional, and well-balanced. Wine was still youthful to show its true potential. Abundance of dark fruits that covered up the subtleties of the wine like a layer of mist, waiting to be lifted.
  
  I would recommend decant for hours before consumption. Better yet, let the bottles sit in the cellar for a few more years before drinking them.

  Reasonably good. Definitely full bodied, but lacks the depth and nose.

  11/27/2023 - ufsnook Does not like this wine:

  I can't give it a score. An hour after opening, it was over-poweringly graphite & green bell pepper. After a night being open, it relaxed a lot, but was not particularly enjoyable. Not planning on touching the next bottle for at least 5, maybe 10, years

  Pronounced nose intensity with notes of black fruits, prune, figs, violet. Medium+ acidity and high tannin. Still youthful. Will improve with ageing.
