Drank this evening with roasted lamb. Gorgeous! In its prime. Austere. Dark fruit. Mild underbrush. Tobacco, tar, and rose petals. Now is the time. Incredibly spherical in the mouth, creates a velvety texture as it opens up. We opened bottle 3 hours prior to drinking and decanted 15 minutes in glass.

Exceptional. Opened an hour before drinking and developed beautifully over course of evening. Nose of chocolate, ripe black fruit. Long finish. Probably still at peak
