Brought a bottle of this to second empire in Raleigh, NC. Our waiter was gushing over it after decanting, going on and on about the bouquet. This wine is showing off on all fronts. Tannins are well integrated and finish is at least 45 seconds. Dark cherry on the nose. Wish I had another....

Drinking window on this is way off....definitely could use more time in the bottle, but great now. Well balanced Bordeaux blend with strong Napa fruit.

decanted 3 hours...still hot with firm tanins. drinking very well after 5 hours. lot of dark cherry and tobacco. these need to sit a few more years unless you have all day.

The fruit just keeps coming. Decanted 2 hrs and a little young, but not bad at the moment. Pure cassis on the nose and grape on the palate.

corked bottle, but not badly corked. still very full bodied shiraz. vanilla and oak all over the place.

decanted 1 hour. dark cherry runs into a beautiful sangiovese based blend. flavor went a little thin towards the end, but would drink again.

Beautiful balance, not over-oaked or too fruit forward.
