4 hour decant. This seems to be sufficiently mature and harmonious to judge better than our PnP a few years ago. Yet my score is actually lower this time. It's a good wine that merits its price. It's not a 100 pointer.

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raisin, mineral, bark and cinnamon. It tastes like prune, red currant, black currant (cassis) and bready.

Decanted 3 hours. Very interesting blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Smells like old world style Bordeaux, fruit forward taste, but not the Cab makes it more elegant than your average Malbec. Would suggest pairing with a pork dish, perhaps mushrooms.

Smooth, subtle nose with smells of vanilla, stewed black fruit and expensive new leather shoes. Intriguing - wanted to stay with the smell for awhile. (The wine was decanted about 3.5 hours before consumption.) Tiny bit of alcohol appears on the nose but doesn’t detract. Lovely mouth feel - blackberry and currant with a streak of red fruit, slightly candied. A wine that really coats the mouth with fine tannins appearing only on the finish, carrying that finish for 30 seconds or so. Really a lush and luscious experience. Not sure what age will do for it so because I don’t think it will do much, I don’t really care. I’ll just drink the rest of these over the next 3 - 5 years.
Wonderful color, dark inky purple, and with, according to Tim, "All the best attributes of bark and plum" on the nose. This wine obviously possesses gorgeous purity of fruit, and with structure that makes one believe this will last " a looooong time". Drink 2023-2043.
