Very enjoyable. Similar to other comments, took 2-3 hours to open up, but hit its stride shortly thereafter. Paired well with food and also held its own the next day without.

Still a bit young but very nice. Dark fruit with a velvety mouthfeel. Some earthy and spicy notes. Tannins need a couple of hours to mellow out. Good acidity makes for a long finish. Give it plenty of air as it improves drastically over 2-3 hours.

Great drinking right now from a magnum. After a double decant and open breathing for an hour and a half, this was beautiful. Very Bordeaux-like but spicier and grippier. Mostly balanced and great with food but fine without. Might smooth out some of its edges over the next few years. Drink or hold.

Balanced and food friendly; had a Bordeaux kind of finish but this a touch more oomph. This wine is in a great place right now. Sure it will continue to evolve and be excellent.
