This wine is still young and tannic. It took a good hour in the glass to start to show its stuff. Then the nose became more aromatic, with notes of fresh cut hay and ?chamomile. On the palate notes of pineapple and citrus emerged. Will wait several years before opening another bottle.

Delicious, with an explosive nose that literally could be smelled from several feet away as it was being decanted. Gobs of Dark fruit on the palate. This is still pretty tannic, so decanting is a must. This should go for at least another decade.

Popped and poured from magnum. Spectacular. Silky and layered. Long finish.
