This wine is amazing. A beast, with intensity of fruit, spice and herb, but not tannin. Healthy dose of wood. Really good, going to be great in 2028. Perfect balance.

This wine was muted initially, but after about an hour in the decanter it started to show beautifully. A sublime black cherry accompanied by bay leaf, anise, orange peel, and hints of bitter chocolate show on the nose. The flavors on the palate mirror the nose, with additional notes of figs, prunes, earthy mushrooms, and cured meat. Tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel, and finish is persistent with the dried fruits and savory elements lingering on the palate. Paired wonderfully with ribeye with hot Roquefort butter and a side of truffle polenta. At the two hour mark the tannins started to become grippy on the palate, but they were still manageable. Put remainder in bottle, and by day 2 the tannins had softened again. The flavors were still humming along.

Didn’t do anything for me. Disappointed to say… mild fruit. A bit more earthy than I like. Color and weight also seemed below expectations.

A bit thin Day 1 but still quite good. Nice balance and fruit. It was even better Day 2. Opened very nicely and lengthened with added complexity.
