Popped and poured at cellar temp. Still very dark purple color with just a hint of lightening at the rim. Intoxicating nose of blackberry, violets, eucalyptus, dusty earth and just a hint of coffee. Very vibrant on the palate, with similar blackberry and dusty earth with very pronounced balancing acidity and still some pronounced fine tannins on the finish. This is still quite young and I am going to throw it in a decanter. Early days of the drinking window but I think this will be fabulous with the steak tips I will be grilling tonight.

opened a half bottle. lot's of cherry and fruit. after being in a decanter for no more than 30 mins began to smooth out. Can probably use at least an hr in decanter. we liked it but too much fruit for our liking on the finish

Day 2 this wine was superb, most content just taking in the intoxicating aromatics.
