Lovely wine but really needs time to open up. Once there it explodes with beautiful red berry and cherry fruit. Sage, sandalwood, flowers and basil on a long finish. Grippy tannin that round and smooth with air. Balanced and smooth. Drinking great now but will last a little longer. Drink now-2020.

Expected more. Strawberry based fruit, sage, brush, still mildly acidic, lacking in complexity. Entering the mature phase, with delicate undertones taking place of the more primary fruit driven flavors. Still, just too simple and doubt that additional aging will change that.

At first pour from bottle very tightly wound. Went into decant for 2 hours and it really opened up nicely. Still has legs to it for sure.
