This is all about balance and transparency. Wonderful aromatics. What you smell is what you get, cherries, earth , minerals and cola. My only bottle , very curious how this bottle would have evolved. — 8 years ago

Day 2: aromatics are lifted with strong floral characteristics, red cherry, and tar. Fresh red cherry and apple skin abound on the palate with softened tannins and a touch of chalk to finish. Well done. — 7 years ago

Must decant/air for 3+ hrs.
Opens up to a sumptuous wine. Dark plum coloured. Earthen nose. Leather, must, dried violets but with subtle blue berries. Fantastic mouth feel. New world with forward fruits heavy and rich. Vanilla, licorice and cola. Medium plus tannins. Would not pair with rich meat or steak. Hard and semi-hard cheese should be good. — 9 years ago
