Floral aromas struggling to show. Dark brick red in the glass. Dark fruit flavors. Predominantly cooked plum is the forward flavor. Tannins are soft with some acidity. Wish I had the opportunity to try this several years ago in its prime.
Definitely a good amount of graphite and not much fruit. Was definitely enjoyed by the more seasoned wine drinkers at the party I brought it to. Decanted for 90 min prior to drinking. Can easily go thru 2020.

Fully developed, deep wine with long finish.

The wine of the night. I feel this can still hold up for 2 to 3 more years.

Blackberry and blueberry fruit, cassis, pencil lead, and some oak. Nose was muted. It was good, but did not meet expectations.
