Almost a "Wow" factor here. Drinking perfectly, Tanins are well integrated, nose is layered and lingerings, absolutely smooth and sophisticated. Probably will hold at this level for a few more years but delightful right now. Yum Yum Yum 2 bottles left - can't wait. Paired well a Medium Rare T-Bone, Grilled Asparagus, and oven roasted potatoes.

At first I thought it was light initially in the mouth with a lot of fruit forward flavors. Wine was smooth, but then wow with a long lingering finish as the evening wore on. Dirt, leaves, strong tannins, cocoa, berries. This wine showed with aeration how well this bottle will age and I will save my other bottle for 5-6 more years to get the full flavors meant by the winemaker.

Holding up well despite being light on the tannins. It's a bit one-dimensional but at this price point it's still a great value.
