  Not decanted, one glass consumed over ~45 minutes. Densely colored, opaque blackish red in the glass. Closed off on the nose over the time it was open - hints of dark fruit and wood with just a whiff of menthol. Weighty, but less ripe than expected on the palate and somewhat simple this evening - tart blackberries & some oak coming through, maybe a little black pepper. Decent acidity, subtle but present tannins, alcohol in check.
  
  Based on this sample, I'd recommend drinking up before the fruit is overtaken by the wood.

  Light purple color. Nose of dark plums, blueberries black cherries, cracked pepper, leather and loam. Full but silky with rounded tannins and moderate acidity. Rich fruit but shows a tart edge, plum, currant, blueberry, and the fruit is laced with notes of dark roast coffee, eucalyptus, cedar, leather, violets. A lot going on here. Good now but should do nicely with 2-4 years. Aged 21 months in 60% new French oak.
