2nd go around with this and it was significantly better. 2 hour decant helped. Early on vanilla aroma then that burned of to a more earthy tone. Quite nice!!

I had this 2 times from the same bottle over a week period, first using a Coravin. Hard to say if the bottle was off but it was very tight, never opened up and had a hard lingering aftertaste. Was really disappointed but I have several more, maybe longer time in the cellar.

Most magnificent. Ran through illo filter and aerator, decanted for 45 mins. Taste at 30min mark was beautiful, floral, spicy pepper, berry, stong tannins. Started drink with salad, Riley steak, ,a berry bomb, subtle, amazing and long finish. Softened to red berry compote. Absolutely stunning. Had it aging in my cellar while overseas, have 3 more bottles that will age. Vwhat a fantastic wine.

Well-balanced. Opened the bottle 2 hours prior to consumption, very soft tannins. Fruit dominant nose.
Spicy on the palate.
