Nose of sour cherry, black raspberry, red currants and candied apple. Slight hints of bacon fat, leather and spice. It was bright, cheerful and appealing.
The pallet had lots of red fruit. Cherry, red raspberry and dark chocolate.
Grippy sweet and chewy tannins. Smooth velvety texture. Very long finish with a peppery ending. The alcohol was a bit hot and could use more time in the bottle or a longer decant. Lots of life left in this wine and it could take another 5 years to peak.

Opened a 1.5 L about two hours before heading to Morton's Steakhouse for dinner with friends to celebrate our wedding anniversaries. It did not disappoint. A lovely rich and lingering finish. This wine is in a pretty sweet spot right now for consumption.

Decanted for an hour. Really enjoyed this wine. Easy drinking with flavors of dark fruit and a long finish.
