Drank over two nights. Deep, fennel, taut, chalky tannins, black olives. Probably on the early side of its peak. Can go another several years easy. Needs a decant as it throws sediment.

Really great. Decanted. Aromas of earth and blackberries. First pour immediately after decanting had lots of tannins and structure, along with some dark fruit. Very good with steak. After being in the decanter for 2 hours, fruit had subsided, and the midpalate through the finish became even more rich with mouthcoating, but soft, tannins.

Always a fan of this wine. It was a bit tight on night one, even after being opened for a few hours. Would suggest decanting.

Dark fruit, some spice, a bit of olive. Balance of fruit and acidity
