Thursday, August 3, 2017 - Enjoyed with my wife at the Black Bass Hotel restaurant in Bucks County PA for our anniversary-eve away from the kids. Decanted at about 3pm, allowed to breath until about 6:30pm before pouring back into the bottle for transit to the restaurant and drunk from about 8-9:30pm. As we were drinking this with our main course it suddenly transformed in our glasses and just "blew up" with rich fruit and chocolate. The wine is dark garnet with no sign of age, looks like it could be 10 years old or less. The nose is complex and full of earthy forest floor, graphite, black fruit and a hint of mint and spice. Palate is smooth, rich and chewy with some blackberry, black plum, anise, mint, mocha and leather amid an endlessly long finish. Exquisite!
