First thing noticed when opening the bottle was a strong vegetal or herbaceous nose. Subsided in the glass. Still red with no apparent browning. Still has a lot of dark fruit on the palate; mellow tannins. Seemed a bit thin. Starting to go downhill so drink up now ..

Clear and deep garnet at this point with significant meniscus. N is powerful and has a herbaceous funk with smells of the forest, bell pepper. Fruit of raspberry and black currant on both nose and palate. Still well balanced with a long finish. Med+ Complexity. Just saw the Turley Cellar Guide come out. Thoughts?

Nice brambly berry core. A touch of heat creeps in. Overall this is very good. Drink now or hold for a few more years.
