Felt a bit linear and simple. Better day 2 when it started to flesh out a bit. Not scoring it as I don't quite trust my nose/palate due to a lingering cold.

AlanR's note nails it. Deep, brooding, dark fruit with cracked pepper notes and a vibrant undercurrent. Leans fuller but has strong acidity, keeping it fresh and sharp. I wouldn't complain if this showed some more mineral or floral notes, but it's young and full right now. Nevertheless, this is a really nice wine.
Very good - drinking well now but can certainly be held

Very dark, deep brooding black/purple fruit, nice reserved intensity, excellent acidity, tannins underlying but not obtrusive. Gets better and better in the glass, really nice.

Generous and fruit driven, but with brooding, masculine tones.
Very Good
