  Cork. 14.5% alc.
  Decanted 2 hours. Fine sediment.
  Dark garnet core. Graphite, blue and black fruits, dark florals. Mid to full weight palate, with good flow through to a slightly chewy finish. Opens out after a few hours. Densely packed but also balanced. Drinks well with a good decant, but could easily hold.

  Needs 3 hour decsnt.
  Then the cedar, graphite, tar, tobacco, and dark plums fall in perfect balance.
  Tannins perfect.
  Don't drink it until it has had time decanted. Tasting tight after opening was a disappointment. 3 hours later was amazing.

  Blueberry and blackberry fruit, dense and dark. Secondary notes of graphite, espresso, tobacco, moss, florals, and bazooka bubblegum. Decanted for 4 hours, but could've used even more air time. Chewy tannins, 40-second finish. Still improving.

  Flawless drinking but lacking the length and tannins to make this truly impressive. Decanted 2 hours before tasting but held up well for balance of the evening. A pleasant drink!

  Great wine drank with a 2008 Ovid at dinner. Long finish and deep almost black look to it. Nose was full of lot s of red ripe fruit. This just kept getting better and better as the dinner went on. Tannins still very present and this wine has lots of life left to cellar. Great experience.
