  This is superb now. Definitely at its peak. We'll balanced but errs on the side of fruit still. Smooth tannins. Shows ripe blackberry and blueberry. Long finish with graphite and gravel. Fantastic.

  Decanted for 2 hours and probably could've used more. The wine really opened up over time. Dark brooding fruit with a medium body and decent balance of acidity and tannins. It's in a great drinking spot right now. Not sure if it will get any better though.
  
  Last drank back in 2014 and I gave it an unusually high score...call it inexperience? Anyhow, with age comes wisdom from experience. This wine is still delicious, though not deserving of my original high score of 97.

  Delicious bottle. Smooth and rich but not cloying. Mature and drinking very well.

  Allowed one hour to open up. Great wine. Dark berries and chocolate notes. Drinking great now
