  Yum! Decanted for sediment then poured. Tasted fully mature. More earth forward than fruit forward with notes of pepper, meat, and blood. Dark fruits were present but tasted secondary to the earth flavors. Tannins were soft and integrated. Really good wine. There was half a glass left on day 2 which was thin and lost all its power. Would definitely drink up here.

  Very nice; a positive surprise. Seems to be at its peak or approaching - nowhere near the end of its window, which should go out to at least 2023. Lots of fine sediment; ran it twice through a Rabbit decanting screen to clear it out. If you don't screen and decant it might taste rough. This is a treat. Mature fruits still going strong, tannins very present yet fine and in balance, as is acid. No apparent sweetness but there may be some to taste the fruit.

  Fun wine; had with fillets and haricots verts. Garnet color with some age on the rim of the wine. Nose of dark blue and red fruit, mint and baking spices. Had some grittiness on the finish, which was medium in length. Agree with other reviews there was lots of sediment so recommend a good decant.
