Not feeling this wine - not flawed (?) but fairly one dimensional. Very dry which is not a bad thing. PoP and was going to give it an 86 but it’s opened up a bit. Pleasant nose. Was hoping for more given its ages for a decade!

Very dark in the glass with slight notes of eucalyptus and salinity on the nose. Brooding blackberry, macerated dark fruits. Extreme lengthY finish. One of my favorite wines!

Very well put together, elegant wine. The wine has great fruit character - lots of ripe red and dark fruits. A touch of cedar / tar brings added complexity. Tastes like there’s a bit of Sangiovese even though there isn’t any! Very nice acidity and freshness. Had it the wine over two nights - the wine was great the first night but even better on night two!
