Decanted briefly. I suspected the first bottle was not representative, and this proved that to be true. Much richer and concentrated flavors here, dark exotic berry, dark chocolate, roasted walnut. Ripe, mature, textured fruit throughout the palate. Really nice. Drink now-2018.

Decanted 4 hours. I'm not convinced this was a representative bottle, but I have seven more bottles, so we'll see. Murky crimson color, very unique flavors of stinkbug/insect, red plum, and glue/acetone/chemical. It's very good, but I hope future bottles will have a bit more fruit and less of the chemical component. 92?

Quite murky. Tannic. Really nothing memorable. I've had much better luck with his sweet wines. Giving up on the reds
