Believe this is the 1st vintage released to the public. At age 15 finally decided to pop a bottle and see what's what.
+1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A striking still inky dark magenta color. On the nose: subdued nose of dark fruit, graphite, clove, forest floor, smokey vanilla. Taste: silky, rich, nice depth mouthcoating wine with blackberry, gravel, baked fig, rich soil, and a dark chocolate tobacco finish with some slightly chewy tannins and a just a touch of heat at the end. YUM! — 2 months ago
Half off wine Wednesday. At less than retail - we couldn’t resist. Was solid but not spectacular — 5 months ago
Dark berries, a little tobacco, decent minerals — a month ago

Decanted for 2 hours before we touched it
2nd sip was better than the first. As if you needed the first sip to prepare yourself for this wine
Overall great structure and solid fruit. Improved with airtime. Delicious wine. — 6 days ago
