Decanted for 2 hours, rebottled for 1 hour ride, then drank over next 2 hours. Last hour was best. Still a big wine, with sweet dark fruit and smooth tannins. Enjoyable now with long decant, or hold for further development and calming its youth.

Very nice on initial pour, but was too cold out of regular fridge. Became so delicious after an hour with air & warmth. Burgundian style yet also CA soft ripe fruit. Kept offering different notes of complexity. Really delicious now, yet can age for another year or two to develop further nuances.

Wow! Didn’t know what to expect but was highly recommended by wine store. If CA and Burgundy had a baby, it’d be this wine. Love the forest floor nose, with hints of ripe fruit and spice. I just keep sniffing. Taste is ripe fruit, smooth & delicious. A finish with length. Got richer after 45 min. Going to buy more.
