Wine seemed overly sweet with oaky vanillin flavors and lacked depth and complexity. Seemed very different from the first bottle that I opened. Bottle variation or palate variation??

Rich, delicious full-bodied black cherry fruit with cassis flavors, chewry, ample tannins, excellent structure, long finish; although wine clearly needs time to soften and open up further, it was still very accessible and very enjoyable now, very good value

Needs 10-20 more years to mellow out tannins. Huge black cherry fruit with pomegranate flavors, excellent structure, short finish

a bit disappointing. I expected a lot more from wine. Still very tannic and toasty. Fruit was relatively hidden and closed. Needs 5-10 years of age which might help fruit open up and integrate.
