  Decanted for two hours. Very powerful. Wonderful nose. Went on and on. A bit high alcohol.

  Still amazingly dark in color, the wine is intensely concentrated. It is big, rich and dense, with loads of black plum, smoke, chocolate, coffee and espresso bean. Mouth-filling, long and concentrated, give the wine a few hours in the decanter or wait another 5 years before pulling a cork as the oak needs to better integrate.

  Popped and poured. Still very youthful appearance with purple at the core and ruby at the rim. Wonderful legs. Sleek, glossy, brilliant. This comes across as a powerful wine, with much oak in evidence but it is sweet and chewy rather than offputting. Loaded with black and red fruits; brooding. Mouth is rich, powerful, masculine. This is not a bruiser but it is no weak sister either. This is most likely on the very early edge of drinkability and seems to have many many more years of life ahead. All elements in harmony. Mostly primary today, the secondary nuances and complexities are beginning to emerge. That said, no shame in opening this today as it is very enjoyable even at this young age. 5-13-18-9: 95/100.

  It took about 45 minutes of air until the wine softened, filled out and offered a sensuous, velvety layer of plums, dark chocolate and cherries, with wet, earthy accents. The oak was still prevalent, and did not subside with air. It was not enough to overpower the wine, but it was present. I am hoping the oak will better integrate and perhaps, another 5-7 years of age will make it happen.
