Nose is earthy, rich, hints of graphite.

Acidic attack with a mellow medium-long finish. Balanced between tannins and plum. Quite tasty, after opening up for just 10 minutes.

Decanted 1 hour. Bold fruity nose. Sharp light fruit attack with an acidic finish.

Fruity nose, light body, medium length finish. Gets better as it breathes a little in the glass. Probably could use some solid decanting time.

Decanted for 30 minutes before drinking. Very dark, with a spicy nose. Heavy mouthfeel. Hints of graphite and blackberry, with a slightly sweet attack that gives way to a lengthy savory finish.

Light nose, mellow attack. Seemed like it would be fruit forward, but it wasn't. Short to medium finish, but pleasant. Light mouthfeel.

Maybe it was just this bottle, but it feels like this one never opened up (even after a few hours). Flat with a mild finish. I've had this before and it's been much better, but that was several years ago.

Pretty good. Slightly fruity, bright attack with a medium finish. Lacks a bit of complexity, but still very nice.

wine is still young. Spicy (black pepper), hint of graphite. Medium body.

Took a few hours to really open up. Starts with some heavy tannins, but finishes with impressions of cherry and pomegranate.

Big nose to start right out of the bottle. After the first hour, still a little tight. After two hours, the leathery tannins become bolder.

Mild nose, slightly sweet, with a medium-length finish. Big, bold flavor with a distinct note of cherry.
