Popped and poured. Could have used a decant as I got a nice dose of sediment in the last glass. Paired with a med rare rib eye steak. If I had tasted this blind I would have sworn it couldn't have been older than a 2006. Deep dark color with absolutely no bricking on the edges. Nose had huge aroma of a meat locker with dry aged steaks. Just the slightest hint of iron. Dark fruits on the palate. This wine was so very young tasting and seems like it has a long life ahead of it. Beautiful finish. Would definitely purchase this wine again.

Nicely integrated tannins at this point with plenty of jammy fruit. Alcohol out of balance and somewhat unpleasant, plasticy finish
