Has held up exceptionally well and may be at its peak now. Integrated tannins, smooth but still distinct fruits, a bit of a short finish. Decanted, some sediment. Needed about 30 minutes of air, and help up well for the next 2+ hours.

Aromas of blackberry, chocolate, plum, and a touch of tobacco. Flavors are similar with the addition of black cherry and a peppery component. Smooth mouth feel, nicely balanced, with easy tannins and a long finish. Very enjoyable. Give or a few minutes to breath and you will undoubtedly enjoy!

Fruit of abundant chocolate with minor tobacco and a pleasant youthful green streak. I like the fruit. It's a chocolatey, Cab dominated, 45%, five varietal blend that isn't loud, but it shows some subtle nuance from the Petit Verdot, Malbec and Franc. This drinks great now due to its smooth, gentle mouth feel, medium body and light/no tannin but no rush and I think it will improve. Overall, predictable WA, very good with food, sophisticated.
