First sip 1h into decanting and it felt quite tight and unimpressive. After 3 hours it was shinning , concerned fruit on the nose complex aroma would give 94 pts but the taste was less hence the 92 point score , a bit better then 13 Artemis which was also 92.

The negative first; The acidity and tannins in this wine are slightly higher than I prefer, but, it does not make this a bad wine (thus the score). The bold, long lasting finish along with the flavors of blackberries, cassis, and floral make for a strong wine that definitely holds up against grilled steaks and such (think exotic game meats). There as still a lot of life in this bottle, so I guess I will wait another year. Please stand by.

I tried a couple of their older vintages in the past 12 months and liked them so much that I purchased a case of this wine. PnP. So good and ready to drink. Glad that I have 11 more.
Day 3 - my last glass and the best. Finally showing some complexity and has that lasting finish.
