  Random snag from Binny's for dinner at Beckmans with steak. PnP (no decanter available) and it was still fantastic. Yes it is young, yes it continues to improve. 2nd bottle was opened simultaneously and had a bit more graphite/flint nose but otherwise similar tasting notes to others. Hold 5+y

  Violet foncé, opaque.
  Fruits noirs au nez, un peu de cassis et de chêne.
  Puissant, corpulent, belle acidité, tanins fins mais très présents, plutôt fermé en bouche côté fruits.
  À laisser en cave de nombreuses années pour profiter des 90 $...

  In a weird spot. Decanted for about 6 hours. Obviously well made, nice fruit. Just a bit reserved tonight. Either give it a longer decant wait a couple years.

  Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined and refrigerated), note from day 2. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby from rim to core. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developing aromas of jammy fruit - strawberry, boysenberry, and raspberry, cedar, violets, and milk chocolate. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ silky tannin, full bodied, medium+ intensity, 14.5% abv with developing flavors of ripe boysenberry and cherry, peppercorn, leather, and spice with a long finish. Overall an outstanding wine excelling in all areas particularly in complexity and length. Drinking well upon opening on day 1 but even better on day 2. Can drink now with some air, better in 3-5 years.

  The wine looks inky colored. The legs are slow. It smells like prune, plum, black currant (cassis), mineral, mushroom, stoniness, high toast, coconut, oak, vanilla, black pepper, clove and violet. The body is full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
