Purchased from Justin's library offerings (and overpaid). Good example of how a properly aged wine can turn into something nice. Still plenty of fruit, with hints of funk, meat, herbs & smoke. In balance right now.

Definitely not as good as the Cabernet, but still a good, well made wine. The nose shows jammy berry fruit, spice and smoke. The palate is rich and fruity with good undertones of spice and pepper.

Nose of raisins and plums. Very dark blackberry flavors. Almost tar like. Charred oak with a slitter bitter finish with still some bite. Winery says this is ready to drink, I'd wait a couple more years. Overall impression is of a brooding wine, but I still find it Excellent.
