Purchased in a retail environment then popped and poured. From the outset it tasted more developed than what I have had previously, with the fruit overshadowed by cedary type oak. Blue fruits showed up front with a touch of leather, but a bit too much oak unbalanced it all. Overall a pretty dull bottle.

Spice and dark berries, black olive too. Great tannins and overall balance. I liked it more than others in my tasting group, but it does need a good stint in a dark cellar.

Full bodied, dark fruits and generous oak. Good line of acidity. Dark/Blue fruits, chocolate and vanilla notes. Good finish. Very young, needs time to come together.
