Monday, August 8, 2016 - Rich, succulent dark berry/ blackberry fruit up front that has a slight sweetness. Modest tannins that tail entry are relatively pronounced throughout the palate and finish. For all of its richness there is a freshness and lightness catered to by the acidity. The middle shows a brunt sugar/ mushroom/ loam note that carries into the finish and fades into a trailing toasted oak note. Initially this showed some drying wood tannin on the finish, but that seemed to disappear with a good decant. This came across as a modern effort and is good, if not a bit uninteresting.
Good - Hold or drink with a lengthy decant
