Concerned when found seepage entire length of the cork. Funky aroma as poured into decanter also provided little hope. Following 90 minute decant consumed over an hour accompanied by grilled galbi shanken beef ribs. Pleasant surprise and excellent pairing.

Opened and poured directly into glasses for my wife and I to enjoy. Color is a very deep purple with no evidence of redness toward the edges. Aromas are overall muted but the flavors display intense chocolate covered blueberries, concentrated raspberry jam, and raisins. The tannins are mild due to the intensity of the fruit and there is almost no evidence of oak at this time. Overall, the wine drinks very easily but you have to enjoy concentrated wines. I think this wine will drink well over the next 2 to 3 years.

Very primary. Better with time in the glass. Will save the next one for a few years as I see this worth cellaring
