Simply outstanding. A little muted on the nose over the first 2 hours but really came around. Decanted two hours and this wine was beyond special. Has a deep flavor but far from heavy...you could taste dark cherries, meat, smoke and so much more... every 20 minutes was a different experience. This is a OMG wine with years to go!

I was bummed after buying this bottle for over $200 to only see the the last few ratings below. I must say- my experience was just the opposite. Two hours in and the wine bust with a nose of perfumed flowers. The flavors were deep with cherry, blackberries and sandalwood. Exquisite wine.

After buying this bottle, I saw some very low scores on CT and was a little bummed. Opened and decanted for just under 2 hours- the wine was bursting with perfumed flowers, amazing. The wine was rich but not thick with dark cherry, sandalwood, blackberry flavors with slight touch mocha. This was a killer wine in it prime. Wish I had more.
