Good but not great. Ready to go from the start with still some structure to run a few more years. Black plum, mixed berries, cassis and anise. Texturally dense and grainy with loads of sediment.

I had it with a fatty/salty tomahawk rib eye. 90 minute decant Paired perfectly with the meat, tannins/acid well integrated. Dark fruit, did not detect any vanilla Got better as the night progressed Ready to drink!

Popped and poured over about 4 hours. Cassis, blackberry and some raspberry on the nose, when first opened had some vanilla oakiness but this dissipated after about 30 minutes. Big lush mouthfeel with flavors matching the nose, with some nice black cherry notes as well, long finish with no tannins and low acidity, drinking fine now and we were told was designed to drink young so drink up. This is very nice and very California but not over the top.

Dark garnet with ruby edge. Muted nose and very faint blue fruit on the palate. Long decant or cellaring is suggested. Wish I had pulled something else as this was closed for business on short notice.
