leather, earth nose; ripe, big round full bodied wine, stewed fruit, medium tannins, cocoa, voluptuous, silky mouthfeel, good structure, long finish, still a bit hot initially (15%) but really mellowed nicely after about 2hr

Second bottle went down tonight. Just as lovely as the first. This wine is showing much more green pepper and clove. Rather vegetal, but not over the top. Finished with a 60+ second finish. Beautiful wine. This wine has aged rather flawlessly, but I'm honestly not sure it really has the depth to last more than a few years from now. Drinking ***WELL*** tonight. A great accoutrement to dinner and after hours wind-down. Drink now to 2018.

Big brooding dark fruit wine - even after 30 decant. Dark fruit and licorice at the start to a even finish and round mouth feel. Light finishing notes of earth and cedar
