Dark, extracted in color and texture. Lots of black and blue fruits, vanilla, fat , a bit of wood on the nose floral. The mouth is full, extracted, full of sugars and soft tannins. The fruit acidity keeps things in balance, this wine is still very, very young nose matches palate. Great with the steak we had it with. The wine needed food after a 2hr decant.

Wow… just wow! Beautiful dark color, very smooth with a tiny bit of heat. 14.5% alcohol. Perfect match with me rib eye steak.

Was good upon opening with minimal decanting, but really opened up between Day 2 & Day 3.
