day 1...20 mins of air...acidic, tart, thin, slight raisin faded fruit. out of balance. day 2 after 1/2 bottle vacuum packed in a 375 and stored in fridge. much better...totally different. pronounced plum, blueberries, no tartness, integrated to a long smooth finish. one dimensional but rich and integrated.

Rich, ripe and fruit. Pronounced eucalyptus and jammy blackberry fruit.Well balanced juicy acidity. Very smooth well integrated tannins. Probably drinking around peak- one would sacrifice fruit for ? at this point in its evolution.

Unsure of provenance - Thin wine without much going on. Some red berry and eucalyptus on the nose; fell off and became quite muted after an hour or so of air. Not much different on the palate with a thin mouth-feel and short finish. Not a bad wine; but hardly worth the price tag.

Dark color. Starts off with vibrant nose, but disappoints on palate.

Much better than the last bottle. Dark colored, tannins has settled down since the last tasting. I would recommend now .
