served 30 minutes after decanting. Still a little 'hot' on the palate, a little sharp, with nice notes of potpourri, forest, ripe fruit, black cherries, and cassis. After almost 3 hours in the decanter, this was showing some leather, smoke, and eucalyptus. Pretty nice.

A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with blackberry, black cherry, dust and spices on finish, very good, drink now. www.winelx.com

From Magnum: Decanted for 3 hours. The black and blue fruits are overripe and intense but not jammy, with some mocha and sweet vanilla Oak and a few dried herbs after mid palate. The alcohol took a while to blow off, but once it did, the wine hit its stride. In this format, the wine was at the very front end of its drinking window with another 10 years to go.

Harmonious if unusual blend of Merlot and Syrah.
