Double decanted and left for 3 hours. Then 1st glass got 5 minutes in the glass. Still a hefty wine but with the aforementioned prep it was delicious from the get go. Streaky tannins provide a medium heavy weight. Dark fruit, leather, meat, pepper. Great by itself and showed nicely with a Mediterranean fish in tomato sauce dish

Nice bouquet, dark color, tannins are present but have softened since last bottle several years ago, great fruit, 14.4 % abv, complex flavors, drank with magret of duck barbecue style, plaintains and potatoes brava, would drink again, intense flavors.

Big and solid wine. Red fruit aromas. Flavors of cranberry & raspberry, a bit chalky with a dry finish. There is enough acid and tannins to age this wine for years to come, but sorry I opened it today.

Muscular and bold but with a supple backbone. Fantastic. Delivered for days.
