December 1, 2018 - I'd go along with Jamesgold's notes, with the possible digression regarding the wine's future. Approaching 2 years after that review, big rich explosion of plum, dark chocolate, and dark roasted coffee aromas wafted from the bottle and all the descriptors of Jamesgold's notes kick in. The delicious fruit might get some more tertiary nuances but I know that my remaining bottle will never have that chance. Just too good to leave too long.
