Drank at my Dad's 89th birthday party. big, bold. Dark fruit forward, but not jammy. Mild acidity. Alcohol seems above average. Tannins present and will only get better over next 5 - 10 years. Good finish.

Big and brouding, but fruit is crisp. A powerful wine but rewards after around 15 minutes of opening. Powerful fruit, and lots of complexity. Tannins and acid are big but not overwhelming. About as seamless as a BIG wine can be. PDQ93+

Served with my wife’s rib recipe in the instapot
Ribs were fabulous with some subtle but present spice
Wine was stored since release in home cellar
Nose was soft and complex with some nice age obvious
Palate was completely integrated and at peak for me. Nice complexity and integration. Long soft finish.
No hiint of the 15.5% abv
Would buy again

This wine does not disappoint. As some have noted before me a big but well integrated wine. Something special!
