From magnum. No formal note. Showing a lot of porcini on the nose with some ripe black and tart cherry fruit. Tiring a bit -- but, very aromatically complex and interesting wine. Good + finish.

Judging by the prior notes, I have been lucky tonight. From the moment we popped the cork (which was in terrific condition), this has been lovely.
Elegant, well-integrated, and still with good tannic structure and excellent acidity. For the first 30 minutes, this was all sandalwood and spice. Let’s see what the next couple hours hold!
There was, of note, a hint of oxidation on the nose that did not come through on the palate. This has nearly completely blown off with air.
