This wine is still fruit forward and tannic but overall nicely balanced and drinking very well. I'm not sure how much better this will get, but it has many years left. Decant for sediment.

No hint of cedar, only decanted for 30 minutes but did run through an aerator. Holding up spectacularly but is at its prime now. Tanins are strong and will remain so, limited sediment but bottle stained.. plums were the overwhelming flavor of the day.

Beautiful, clean wine right now after almost 10 years. Flavors of red/black cherry and plums up front. Mid-palate is full and rich with notes of vanilla, earth, forest floor, leather, and toasty oak. Still firm acidity, prominent tannins, and wonderful long silky finish..love it!

Balanced and delicious with medium body. Not very concentrated.
