Saturday, July 27, 2013 - Opened bottle four hours prior to drinking. No decant.
Still ruby red with just a touch of bricking. Amazing aromas burst out the glass...dark red fruits, a touch earth and cocoa...the aromas linger.
This wine still tastes young to me....tongue coating flavors of currant, black fruits, hints of oak. Still full bodied and fleshy with a slight tannic component that lends touch of a lip smacking.
Drinking well now, but certainly has a few years of upside potential and will likely stay at its prime for at least another five years if cellared properly.
