4 hour decant. Hints of brick on evil purple - somewhat closed in the nose - nicely balanced in the mouth, if slightly rough around the edges - nice enough wine, but nothing amazing for the price.

Lifted fruity character packed with freshness, well balanced in a medium to heavy weight, enjoyable at the moment but will keep for 2-3y more with no problem.

Solid effort, more new world than old world in my eyes. The wine is still fresh and vibrant and a nice surprise considering the price tag, the only step back is the oak that comes a touch more than what I prefer.

A powerful, serious, heady wine - this one is crawling out of the glass - I gave it a couple of hours in the decanter, but I think it would have benefited from more just to round off the slightly alcoholic edge.
