Decanted for about 40 minutes before dinner and this wine felt like it's still a baby. The oaky flavor of vanilla hits you right on the face but there is is still some dark fruit notes behind it. My biggest take away was how smooth this was to drink but the complexity is not there and I'm not sure when or if that will occur.

Upping my rating from Nov 2019. Confirm cherry and vanilla notes. Seems a bit less tannic a year later, if memory serves. Sadly, my last bottle. Should continue to age well in my judgment, but very drinkable now.

No detailed tasting given circumstances of the day, but phenomenal wine with a great steak.

Rich and full body probably from higher alcohol content. The wine is well balanced and drinking well at this point.
