Wow! What a treat. I pulled this bottle out to have with a nice filet mignon dinner and it was perfect. Full of berries and yet silky smooth. It has the perfect amount of dryness to match with the steak and veggies. After dinner, we savored the smell which was slight wood and ash of a forest floor and the tannins were just right. I am sure it could lay down a another few years, but if I had another I would enjoy this wine now.

Decanted and enjoyed over an hour Fruit and earth filled my nose. At first sip, the experience starts with an amazing gentle fruit wave, followed by layers of flavors that fill and cascade taste buds, feels heavy and soft and smooth as is finishes down. Will mellow a bit more, but I love the balance right now.
