A huge wine that took an hour to come around and mellow a bit. Gobs of overripe black fruits with some chocolate covered blueberries. 20+ second finish. Smooth. Hints of eucalyptus and cedar. This bottle clearly had at least a few more years of top form left in it.

Huge wine for $100. Massive up front blueberry pie ala mode with a black pepper finish. A little hot. Needs a 5 hour decant at least. This is a big rich full body wine.
This is worth $100 all day.

Well balanced and more restrained than I was expecting. Plush dark fruit, plenty of cassis and licorice notes, soft tannins on finish. A good second wine, and a decent qpr at ~$70.

Decanted and drank over 3 hours. Very fruit forward. Red and blue fruits comingle with the oak for an easy to drink wine.
