Nice base of fruit, but still rather tight even after a couple hours in the decanter. I suspect a few more years might soften things up a bit. Nice wine.

Really nice wine in a good spot. 8 years post vintage with absolutely no sign of decline. Robust blackberry and black licorice notes on both the nose and palate. Some dark chocolate in the middle. Moderate black pepper finish with dark toasted oak tannin. Soft edges on this one from start to finish showing really good integration. I think there's possibly some upside potential here but is a joy to drink now. Went very well with orange peppers stuffed with cheese steak and would go well with a variety of medium to heavy dishes.

Just stunning. Rich fruit. Tannins. Beautiful acid. This was multi-faceted. Will buy more. Paired it with flank steak sandwiches. Blow my mind amazing combination

Not as great as others. May be pushing its prime
