Opened but not decanted about two hours prior to dinner. Paired perfectly with grilled ribeye. Very dark purple in color showing no visible signs of age in the glass. Red and black fruit on the nose with similar palate, but with the addition of a savory element. Long finish with well-integrated tannins. Surprisingly fruit forward but possessing amazing complexity as well. Easily the best red I've opened this year. Throwing a ton of sediment. 96+

Ok here is the thing. This has a bit high alcohol than what I expected. So drink this with food....I had a prime rib eye. This will allow to create balance with this wine. on the nose, I get deep dark red fruit. Lots of it. long lasting goodness. had over two nights due to the rich wine. Cheers

Needs a LONG decant. Fruit was hiding. Im glad I bought 3 as I feel like these are not ready. Still a very good wine to drink, but i would definitely hold for 2-3 more years min.
Cheers
