Double decanted and let sit an hour. Could have sat longer as it was still showing muscle at first wiff and taste though finesse came out with more time. Very good with the rib roast. Some black pepper, dried black fruits, and cooking spices. I hate using this description but tobacco? Great finish! Plenty of life left to let this sit.

A big, rich masculine wine with earthy black fruit, cedar, black pepper and a hint of green pepper. This was great wine to go with our bone-in ribeyes. While excellent now, this wine will be much better in about 4 years.

Ripe fruit, balanced acid structure, very light to indiscernible tannins left us a bit underwhelmed
