Decanted 2 hrs. and probably not enough. This wine is highly extracted with notes of cassis, black raspberry, mocha, and spice. The tannins are very prominent but well integrated with very long finish. This is my last bottle but I'm guessing this wine will be drinking well 10 years from now.

A very strong fruit bomb. A little too extracted for us. As we’ve gotten older these don’t hav3 as much appeal anymore. Obviously a lot of work, skill and love went into this, but as I said, just not our cup of tea anymore.

Had in 2012 and 2014. This was much better! Showing no edge browning, smooth, complex and super rich taste, and on the young side of mature. Amazing!

Getting better with age, and best on Day 2 with air. Strong plumb, twigs, cinnamon spice, very well integrated.
