Wow, what a difference a few years makes. Floral, chocolate, red/blue fruit on the nose. Really good after a 1 hour decant. Complex and well balanced. Long flavor profile that lingers. In its drinking window. Yummy!

This is fantastic. Wish I had a few cases of this wine. I took a sip shortly after opening and then gave it a decant of an hour, which was a good call. Definitely decant at least 40 minutes.
Beautiful color. Vivid aroma of red fruit, cedar, vanilla, and tar. In fact, I would say that of the wines I have tasted rhis past year, this wine is top 2% in that category.
The palate does.does not disappoint the expectations set by the nose. Strong flavor of black cherry, tar, vanilla, black pepper, clay pot. Good complexity, nice acidity, firm but not overly stiff tannin, and long finish.
Truly excellent. Certainly can age longer, but I doubt there would be substantial improvement.

Bold fruit-not earthy at all. A very well done franc.
