I believe this wine is in a bit of a in between phase. The freshness of fruit has passed and the more savory aspects of this wine are in development. Not sure I'd call it a dumb phase, just a little less inspiring than the wine might have been or will be if given time to pass into the next phase.

Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of flowers, currants and black cherries. Flavors of black berries, cherries and raspberries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold.

Very dialed in with some air. I think this could be through the roof amazing in a few years. Only has upside (but drinking now would be just fine with a decant)

Brought to dinner with friends, no formal note taken. Decanted for 1 hour and was the last of 4 bottles had with dinner. Was enjoyable, but didn't particularly stand out - tasty high toned fruit and spice but lacked expected depth and complexity. (90-91)

Drank over two nights. Massive wine with blue and black fruits. Tar and graphite on the long finish.
