Seems it has shut down a touch, as i recall it being a lot more expressive. Needs time, but is very nice after a few hours in a decanter. I am enjoying the way this one is evolving, though it has been good since release.

3 years later and still singing, only now with more complexity and of course smoother integration. years from its peak, with tannins that still need to soften. loads of fruit to hold it through. really really nice now, but I expect to be even better in a few years.

Way better than my previous note. Expressive aromas with a mouth filling of flavors. Very nice level personality, with a solid tasty aftertaste. One of the best wines I have had under $40. LOVELY!
