We consumed this magnum, decanted 2 hours, and paired with bacon-wrapped filets on the grill. A wonderfully complex wine with concentrated darks fruit, hint of licorice, spice with well integrated tannins. Excellent mouthfeel with long satisfying finish. Everyone loved it. I'm not convinced this wine is past peak, especially the larger formats, but time will tell. I have one mag remaining but will cellar this at least a few more years.

Medium bodied, with a cherry tobacco and earthy nose, the wine offers a soft, light, elegant finish of fresh, crisp cherries and olives.
