Decanted, not much sediment. Dark purple core with a light rim. I was not detecting much fruit at all on this wine tonight. Plenty of beautiful barrel aromas. There was an earthy minerality on the palate. I found the wine nice and balanced, but uninspiring. Wife thought it was great. Decent for the price point, but would look for it on sale. Would purchase again.

Decanted for about an hour before dinner, not much sediment. Slightly lighter color than I was expecting. Nose of mint, tobacco and blackberry. Paired great with a medium rare Wagyu hanger steak. Silky mouthfeel with fine grained tannic structure. Flavors of black fruits, minerals and scorched earth. Medium length finish. Would purchase again.

Pleasant, drinkable but nothing special. Nice fruit but a little light. Medium finish.

Lighter bodied for a cab, quite nice as a result.
