  needs air time. dense, weighty and well-balanced. This wine now is coming into its own, so the drinking window in cellar tracker is a bit short. I would say drink by 2021.

  Dense ruby color. Aromas of earth, dark fruits, and mineral. Similar on the palate, but there was a grapey, fake, element going on on the pop that fortunately worked itself out w/ 30 mins. to an hour of air (pouring off glasses, not decanting). Fine now with air, but with only 1 more in holding, and given my preferences, I might hold it a couple more years.

  Second bottle was much better than first and aged well. Drink now as it has mellowed over time. Decant for 30-45 min. Dark fruits of plum, prune, blackberry. Spicy, black pepper on the mid. Smokey dry finish. A wine that will hold up well against grilled steak.

  A nose of some dark fruit and spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red, with plum, kirsch, herbs and some spice on finish. www.winelx.com

  First off don't even think about judging this wine until it has decanted for at least 1-2 hours or more. At first smell all I got was rubbing alcohol. After decanting, more of the aromatics come through. On the nose Still a bit of rubbing alcohol, candied cherry, bubble gum, and cassis. Taste: black raspberry, black pepper, spicy, fruity at first then goes a bit rustic. Hot sauce on the back end, a bit hot alcohol burn, candied plums. Long finish of dark fruits. This wine completely changed over a two hour period all for the better after some healthy agitation in the decanter. Nocking off a couple points for the hot factor.
