Three hour decant. Very very deep magenta color. Black cherry and tiramisu dominate the nose. Very dry palate, with satiny acidity. Firm tannins on the longish finish.
This is excellent every vintage. Not sure why it’s not as appreciated by the pro reviewers. Lots of room to improve on this guy, but already a terrific drinker. Enjoyed with Mark1NPT at our pre-Thanksgiving get together.

Brought to the event by Agelvis tonight....my first of this '19 vintage. Pnp'd tableside during/after dinner and enjoyed over 2-3 hours from the decanter. Quality STC fruit and winemaking. Excellent balance, smooth and dark fruited but not black, so much. Notes much as #1winelover describes below. Drank exceptionally well through the evening. Thanks for bringing this one, J! 94+-95 all day long.

Pulled the cork at 3pm, decanted for 2 hours at 5pm and it was drinking really well at 7pm. I usually try a sip or three during these experiments but I didn't have time.
Dark colors of purple, red and black, dark fruit - blackberry, raspberry and plum, very smooth. 1st sip was slightly fruity but that dissipated pretty quickly. Smooth tannins, good balance, lots of spice, mineral and chocolate notes.
94-96 points and I can't wait to try another bottle.
