  Sour cherry, velvet anis. Needs more time for depth, had the 2016 recently and it had more tones of deep cherry, sandalwood, herbs, full, high density. Will save next 2018 2 years

  Certainly a nice wine, but I don’t get the effusive praise some critics have given this. Maybe it just needs more time?
  
  Flavors more savory than fruit, but I’m having a hard time breaking it down. Large grained tannins, and I’m not seeing a ton of complexity here. Maybe I’m just missing something.

  Several hours post-decant:
  Beautiful nose of sweet black cherries, new leather, blackberry, hot stones and spice. Med-full bodied, thisbis rich and round on the palate. Loaded with sweet red and black fruits with abundant spice. Liquid minerals and just enough oak. Delicious on its own or with food, drink now-2031 93
