  Drinking very nicely now. Well balanced with dark fruits and smooth tannin. Great mid week drinker and good QPR.

  Ok on day one but better on day 2. Full body with sharp edges on day one. Day two fruit was more balanced softer and smoother. Rate 88 day one and 90 on day 2 with 89 overall. Suggest long decant.

  Medium purplish ruby in color. Aromas of earthy funk, soil, blue and black fruits, violets, vanilla, and chalk or crushed rocks. Light to medium body, medium acid and finish, a bit of alcohol spike (I'm surprised this is only 14.5% according to the label), and flavors of blue and black fruits, notable minerality, and yeah, alcohol, which is a bit detracting here. This worked well with our stacked slow cooker enchiladas, but its flaws are showing through a bit more post meal.

  By far the best of a half case. Just lovely tonight. Still has generous fruit and nice minerality, but the integration and polish has gone way up. Drinking beautifully now and an outstanding value at this age.
