Subdued black fruit nose, but big chewy rich black berry, blueberry palate. Still showing big tannins, but well integrated with a medium long finish? Wish I had more!

quite delicious. Over the course of three hours the wine developed nicely in the decanter. Lots of blueberries blackberries creme de cassin and a delicate balance of oak and smooth tannins. I believe this wine will age gracefully over the next decade

Rich boysenberry and dark fruits nose leads to still tight mineral tannic mouthfeel. Black raspberry complements food friendly tannins and acids. Ok

Drink soon. Still drinking well, but seems like it is getting old. Dear fruits and softer tannins than when young.
