Really great wine. Enough age to take the youth off, but enough vibrancy to appease the fruit lovers. In a very good place, you can wait but don't fear to open and decant. Cedar and Blackberry and a hint of blueberry. Paired great with lamb and filet....

This wine drank great and was a very nice surprise. Plenty of fruit left and exceptionally smooth. Looking forward to the next. Cherry with Anise undertones.

Young. A bit overly "earthy" and "woodsy". Opened up nicely over about 1.5 hours. Definitely not jammy. Washed clean over the mid and back palate, but finished with that woodsy note.
