After an hour decant, notes of hoisin, grilled meats and framboise. Color is a beautiful dark ruby red. Palate explodes with cocoa, plum and blackberry. Finish is fairly long with a little bell pepper, milk chocolate (?) and black tea. Definitely in a great place to drink now.

Dark fruit, silky mineral finish, tobacco. Top notch. Will be even better laid down a few years.
