I am very disappointed by this wine in that it was my last bottle. I remember this wine from about 5 years ago being a pretty tasty fruit bomb...but now it is completely integrated still showing plenty of red and black fruit, a touch of smoke, earth and leather and not a rough edge for miles. Absolute prime drinking window IMHO but with a few years left. Fantastic wine especially for the price...wish I bought a case years ago.

Decanted for about 30 minutes and then served. The color was that of a dark ruby, not quite garnet. The flavors included some black fruit, along with a hint of smoke that paired with a tandori style grilled chicken. A medium bodied wine that probably is near its peak.

Full on the palate; great minerality (with a kind of ferrous bite that marries perfectly to a piece of rare-cooked beef -- this is a wine that needs steakous accompaniment, preferably pepper-encrusted) beneath the round red fruit. Soft and round in the mouth, medium tannins. Modern, for sure, but balanced, with no oak-overwhelm. In a great spot -- probably a year or two left at least but I don't see it developing much from here?

Drink up. Clean cork and some sediment in the bottle. Pleasant, but acidity is fading and the wine is starting to come down from peak.
