Drinking nicely. Tons of concentrated dark fruit on the nose. Very ripe. Plum, blackberry, leather, and spice. Full bodied palate with great acidity and balanced tannin. Drinking quite well but has many years to go before decline. Could benefit from some continued development of secondary complexity but very enjoyable right now. Long finish. Medium to high alcohol.

PnP. This was ready to go as soon as it was open which is quite the change from my last bottle which was pretty acidic initially. Blackberry, plum, vanilla in a full bodied, seamless wine with a long finish. The fruit has muted nicely allowing secondary flavors to come forward. Amazing change.

consistent with notes of 1/12/2014, still a massive fruit bomb and very well done for what it is.
