Decanted for 2 hours. I get a lot of dark chocolate and some spice. Really nice mouthfeel. The alcohol shows through a bit, but nothing out of the ordinary for such a baby. Tons of upside potential. Glad I have more.

I knew I shouldn't have opened this. Wound up tight. Dark fruits with a solid tannic backbone. Painfully young wine. I'm going to tuck my remaining bottles away and forget about them for a while.

Wow was this bad. First impression was that it drinks like a bottom tier cabernet twice its age. Thin with tons of musty oak. That's about all it has to offer. Not recommended.
