still going strong. Age has helped smooth out the wine. Fruit forward but the oak has integrated and there is a balance of acidity and tannins. Gave this an hour decant.

Wow, a very beautiful and delicious wine. We popped and then decided to decant which was a good call. It doesn't need to sit long. Dark cherries on the nose - graphite and pepper mid palette and a nice long full finish.

Smooth and silky. Plums and cherries give way to earth and leather.

Fresh and lively. Layers of plums and cherries with an earthy core.
