Still dark and brooding and floral nose. This is In a great drinking window as the tannins are being resolved (though not quiet yet), contributing to a pleasurable drinking experience. There's still residual heat from the alcohol.

I really liked how balanced this wine was. We let this bottle breathe for an hour, but it could have used a decanter to open up even more. The nose was less pronounced than expected and prevented me from adding further points. But the the palette had a harmonious balance that I really enjoyed. Also got unsolicited comments from another guest during dinner about how good it was. I think this was great cost performance.

Really good price performance ratio. I was surprised by how perfumed the nose was. The palate was full bodied with intense dark fruits.
