Jumps out of the bottle smooth and fresh and delicious. Layers of fruit and balanced nicely. Very good.

Dark fruit. Blackberry for sure. Tannins have mellowed a bit. Decanted 2 hours. Really opens up the fruit.

Nice mineral backbone. Fruit is more plum and blackberry. Great subtle finish. Understated but complex.

This is my favorite wine!! It is absolutely fantastic in every situation - out biggest problem is giving it that little bit of breathing time that makes all the difference!!
