Popped & poured. Pretty tasty. Spices, blue fruits, some chocolate & leather, and plenty of oak derived flavours. Not bad at all. Great accompaniment to meats, though a little one dimensional. Short-medium finish.

Still a big wine with plenty of restrained dark fruits, smooth but very present tannins and a good dose of acidity. Drinking well now but this still has plenty of time. Best with food and tonight it worked beautifully with a grilled steak.

Elegant Bordeaux styled wine with cassis, black olives and minerals with a silky mouthfeel and fine tannins. I would drink now and over the next 5 years.

In my cellar for 2 years. Leather, cassis, and dark chocolate on the nose. Soft tannins and even more chocolate on the palate. Moderate finish. Very nice...

Popped, poured and wished we had more. Tannins fully integrated, fruit forward with long smooth finish
