  Fantastic wine. Aged well. Prime drinking time is now. All the rest is from my previous note.

  This one is all about power. Nose is strong dark and red fruit plus quality oak. Can't say it is elegant but invites every sniff and sip with different aromas and flavors. Complexity is definitely shines here. Not sure if much more time left to improve.
