Rich chocolate box aromas right out of the gate. Decanted, but this was great from the start and didn’t really develop a whole lot. Silky texture. Violets, raspberries and subtle cassis on the palate. Incredibly enjoyable.

W pork chop from grill. Good wine but not as good as expected. This appeared somewhat disjointed between fruit and body. Not sure what to say but it didnt make a good impression although it had great color and nose. Maybe it was the combo? Appeared to me as a drink up wine.

This wine has finally entered it's prime drinking window. One hour decant. Casiss, pomegranate, cranberry and spice. Tannins are present but no longer overwhelming. Still a hint of alcohol on the finish. Enjoyed with pizza.

Opened and let breath in bottle for 5 hours. This wine is extremely dark and smells of cardamom, clove, coffee, and dark fruits. On the palate, flavors of pomegranate, plum, cranberry and spice. Bold, but smooth tannins with a nice long finish. Ready to drink now, but should last another 3 to 5 years. Great with a sirloin steak!

Decanted three hours. Impressions of restrained dark fruit with a mocha note, low acidity and fine tannins.
