Tobacco, dill, cedar notes to pair with cassis. Full bodied. Staid, effortless, but plenty of life left. Began to open on the pour, but still drinking well and just starting to tail off several hours after open. In a wonderful place right now.

I have to say I think the drinkability window for this wine is wrong (not just opinion/actually wrong). Just popped and poured with decanting but no time in decanter before beginning to drink. Bright blackberries, black pepper, sage. A little celery on the nose. Still aging well. Probably could go another 5-10 years. Surprised as I thought too old from WS review and drinking window here. Enjoyable.
