Second time I tried one of these and I must say I find this on it´s way down. Not a bad wine in any way, but the extra edge it had the first time I drank it is gone. Now it feels tired, mostly displaying ripe fruits without anything extra. Figs, and raisin, no real energy, soft tannin. Should have had this a couple of years ago.

Quality, as it goes. Smoke, dark fruit, blackberries, sweet licorice on the nose. Fruits galore in the mouth. Dark, hints of bacon, tannins biting at the end. Emerging chocolate notes. Will probably be in the ‘window’ for another eternity, not in a hurry to drink up.

Pop and pour. In the glass, cloudy, dark purplish-black. On the nose, currants, raspberries, and damp soil. On the palate, very fruit-driven, almost in fruit-bomb territory, with all of the fruits implied by the nose, as well as a bit of mocha. In a blind tasting, I suspect this would pass for a fruit-heavy early-drinking Napa cab. Definitely not flawed, or a bad wine, but I was expecting more complexity.

Absolutely fabulous wine. Power and elegance in a glass. Intense, complex, long finish. Black fruit. Very intriging.
