Very tight on opening - sharp edge, but good nose and fruit. Decanted and left it for 2 hours and it really opened up. A little cloudy, but great body and nose. I wish I had more, it should be good for a few more years.

Not bad, but plain. Full bodied, tannins resolved. Spices and dark fruit. I am missing structure. Short finish, alcohol integrated. OK with lamb. Drink now.

Good depth, warm and ripe, black fruit, oak and Mediterranean herbs, Italianate almost; soft texture, good stuffing, firm, powerful structure; good length, complete. Needs a few more years to come together.
