Revisiting this wine after an ample opportunity to gain some age. Blackberries, meat, floral notes and a trace of cinnamon on the nose. Generous dark fruit throughout a medium-plush body. More savory notes subtly show on a finish that reveals more balanced acidity than before. While the younger wine was more of a voluptuous experience, there has not been enough structure to enhance this wine with age. A very good wine, but nothing now truly stands out.

Medium Garnet with browning meniscus. Strong aroma of blueberry and plum on the nose, along with a bit of earth and spice. Tastes incredibly round, supple and soft - with fruit dominating the start turning to more gamey, spice and earth flavors on the palate. Finish lasts a bit but ends with a bit more of leather and earth. Recommend drinking now rather than waiting - this was just a bit past peak.
