Still drinking well, this is holding up better than I thought. The dominant flavor here is now pomegranate with some grace notes of graphite and mushroom. It might have another couple years of peak left if stored right since we're still not veering to secondary flavor profiles. Sadly this is my last bottle.

PnP and enjoyed. Perhaps would have benefited from a decant, though it went down well right from the start and improved slightly from there. Dark fruits and integrated tannins. Solid weeknight wine.

really nice, decanted and drank with company. Everyone was impressed, which was good as we had a Baer Ursa just before it. Well integrated, nice nose, smooth mouth, good wine

Definitely one of their better wines. Popped, poured into decanter and then into glass. Deep, deep red color, warm fragrant bouquet. Right away, you get cherry and spice on the tongue, neither one overpowering. Really nicely balanced with no hot spots or bite at the end. Nice finish that lingers on the tongue. Really good, screams drink me now as it is definitely ready!

A juicy red wine with intensive black fruit aromas, with notes of black cherry, licorice, cedar, baking spice, with a long smooth finish.
