  Brief decant. Dark ruby/purple color. Fantastic nose of blackberries and black olives with pepper, smoke and earthy notes. Palate bursting with ripe black and red berries, olives, minerals and smoky dried herbs. Ripe resolved tannins and a great finish. Lots to enjoy here!

  This was quite lovely. Fine tannins. Raspberry, cassis, and meat flavors. Pleasant finish lasting 20 seconds. Very nice bottle with a steak. Not a powerhouse wine but very refined and well-structured. Drink up as I do not foresee it improving from here.

  Primarily got the cabernet in the blend here (as indicated by the 70% in the mix) with plum and currant notes, some smokiness and fine tannins. No need to wait, drink up.

  Palate: more blackberries, ash, tobacco leaf, wet leather, truffles stewed tomatoes. 24 hours under Private Preserve, more Syrah character, still some ash and oak, aged tobacco, currants and a bit of cassis.
