I feel silly having wondered if I waited too long. A very nice wine. Dark berries and chocolate on the nose. Blueberries, blackberries, vanilla, leather. Well-made.

Sadly I couldn't wait another two or three years to drink this again...so I guess I'll order more. Still wonderfully full and layered, both in the aroma and the flavor. Woody, chocolate, mocha and berries on the nose....and light oak, currents and tight tannins in the flavor...which should develop nicely. Better in April than now, but I think it is developing very well....in 9 to 18 months I see this starting to hit peak.

Just loved this bottle. Layered with berries, vanilla, chocolate, mocha....just yummy stuff. A bit of heat, but it blew off after 30 minutes of decanting. Could certainly sit for two or three more years, but I doubt mine will last that long.
