Popped and poured, not quite as much fruit in this bottle than privious bottles. Still very good with some red fruits and more earth tones and wood notes. Based on this bottle I would drink soon.

The nose was closed at the start and very slow to open; in the glass it showed a wonderful deep plum red, almost hypnotizing. I initially expected more fruit and it began to show up w/in hour (hence needed decanting). It was very smooth w/ some complexity and a surprisingly nice long finsih. It was a wlecome treat for my first ever Patz.

Decanted for 30 min. A little funk in the nose that blew off in 15 min. Red fruits, floral spice and earth ith the nose, great balanced flavors of plum, raspberry, vanilla and spice on the palate, that goes on and on. Plenty of life left

In the 30 dollar range I expect a little something extra out of a wine--and this one delivered.
