Nice lovely wine - dark cherry, cassis, blackberry. Chocolate, vanilla, baking spices, violets, cola. Emerging mushroom, leather and tertiaries. Lovely acidity, med- fine tannins and elegance on the finish. Lovely balance and interplay of fruit, acid, oak and age. Really tasty stuff!

Nice ripe, but not overdone fruit. With air, savory layers follow for a nice mouthfeel and finish. In it's prime - drink now and for the next few years.

Unlike the last bottle this one was excellent. The acidity was well balanced with the tannin's and the fruit was still very noticeable. I wish I could find more.

Very saturated cork but came out unbroken. Slight mustyness on the nose.
PnP, very smooth. Fruit and tannins well balanced with a surprising amount of acidity comeing through on the end.
+1hr. Still very smooth, acidity is still strong, almost too overpowering. Nose gives off muted red fruits, mineral earthiness. Tannins are now coming through. Maybe it needs more time?...
+3 hrs. Acidity is till there but the fruit and tannins are as balanced and supple as they'll get.
This medium bodied wine has the necessary components, but the acidity overpowered right now. Had on a Monday night and this needs a juicy prime ribeye.
No sediment in the bottle which makes me think this could have some time. We'll see, I'll have the next bottle with a big ribeye and see. 90 for now, could be better though
