Great stuff. Decanted 2+ hrs, really opened up and drinking so well. Dark blue / purple, no real sign of age, great aromas throughout. Terrific balance and length, a large style but not at all over the top. Great with grilled steaks, everything worked and in a great place right now.

Real surprise of the night, pop and poured before and again after dinner. Beautiful red fruits, expressive nose, lighter styled but not light - simply lovely wine to quaff. This is in a great place right now, really impressive for a SC blend.

Superb all around - ruby red with no signs of age, clear, beautiful nose of cherries and rose petals. Lighter bodied but not light, lean, bone dry, with beautiful balance and great length. Outstanding food wine, hits all the right notes. Just terrific stuff.
