Decanted and drank over several hours the first night, stopper, and drank the rest the 2nd night. Still very fruit forward on the first night- less so on the 2nd night. Some savory characteristics but I would guess this would develop more with even a few more years.

This wine just keeps getting better, each bottle better than the previous one. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, sandlewood, smoke, floral and spice. Loaded with flavor showing cherry, raspberry, spice, smoke,light oak. Medium bodied. the tannins are silky smooth in the long finish.

1 hour decant and consumed over 3 hours. Mature nose - notes of red cherry, sous boi and spice. Lovely red cherry flavor with notes of plums, raisins and earth. Long evolving finish. Well balanced, deep, and complex with wide palette filling flavor.
Definitely showing signs of maturity at this point. Still has a long life ahead but squarely in the drinking window. Drink up!

In a great spot with deep fruit, tertiary character, and nice complexity. Delicious.
