Walked in on a wine tasting with Charlie Meeker in Naples, Florida and bought the bottle. Laid it down on his advice and it seemed to develop nicely. Tannins have softened and the red fruit shows through the black pepper. Some oak and hints of graphite that came out on day two. Really needs decanting and time to open up.

Crimson color. Aromas of cherry, lavender, thyme and florals. Medium-bodied, with cherry and red fruit flavors on the palate, hint of chocolate and herbs on the finish. 88-89 pts.

Cork blew apart which was the first bad signal. Filtered it but it was corked unfortunately. Oh well - still a pretty bottle
