Decanted for 20 minutes (but continued to improve) with some slight sediment. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 26% Petit Verdot; and 24% Syrah. The color was a deep dark ruby to a faded rim. There were dark fruits, spice and earth on the nose. The medium to plus bodied palate showed lots of dark red fruit, some blue fruit, lots of spice, some pepper, some earth, a touch of tannin and nicely balancing acidity -- and no evidence of the 16.2% abv. This wine may continue to please for several years to come.

Big, ripe complex full bodied wine. Blackberry, plum, pepper, vanilla, oak still relatively young

Fruitful and aromatic upon PnP. With time in the glass, it evolves the terroir and finish, to achieve a wonderful balance.
