  So bummed. My last bottle of a six pack and cork taint won out. Can’t win em all.

  In nose there was berries and a hint of coffee and leather. In palate most aromas come from black berries and -currant. You should open this bottle at least 3 hours before enjoying.

  Decanted for 30 min or so. Nose was blackberry and currant, but faint. Leaning towards full bodied with smooth and firm tannins. I have had this on multiple occasions and it continues to please. I have one more that I will wait on for a few years, but this is great now and seems like it will last another 5+

  Decanted for one hour. Rather vibrant nose of dark fruit and a whiff of mint. Medium(+) bodied, smooth and firm tannins, surprisingly youthful still, showing good concentration of dark cassis toned fruit with a slightly mellowed aspect and some minty notes. It has fruity power and a nice dusty bite on the finish but it is not very complex, lacking in tertiary flavors IMO. Can hold for some years but I don´t see it improving much anymore. Not quite the typical SuperTuscan.

  Decanted at Chatham's place in Orlando. Soft graphite and cherries on the nose and palate. Herbs, well chiseled red fruit and balanced tannins, well matured and seems to be in its prime drinking window. Nice heft and complexity for a Super Tuscan, perfect with filet.
