On initial pour, heavy and dense, inky, oaky, dark stewed fruits, tannins are still there, some alcohol on the nose, cedar and tobacco notes, spice. After 30 mins in the glass, becoming more complex, more dark fruits present, cedar and tobacco becoming more prominent. still detecting some alcohol on the nose. really enjoying this wine.

Dense ruby color; fairly opaque to the edges. Smells like dark fruits, licorice, bark, graphite, dry spice drawer, little jalapeno pepper, touch of floral. Medium body and finish, good acidity, with flavors of cassis, lemon, orange, and notable, lingering spice and minerality, teasing out the finish a bit. Nice wine; well made, but not really seeing the value of the $90 "deal" price, and certainly not the $150-250 supposed normal price.

Needs 45min - 1 hour to open but once it does… Wow. Rose, hibiscus, brine Nicoise olives, ripe cherry nose Good weight, little bite, savory, great with aged ribeye. Curious if this will last much longer.

Very good. Solid. Smooth. Nice finish. Maybe not as special as the price it commands. But no regrets. Our guests liked as did we. Decanted for an hour. Didn’t get a chance to make more detailed tasting observations as I was busy cooking and hosting our guests. But I enjoyed the wine.
