Really nice nose. Crushed violet and touch of herbs. On the palate, this is dense. More classic/elegant on opening. Not lush sweet, but lots of dark fresh fruit that give a sense of lushness (not jammy or stewed). Wet rock/minerals/graphite. Drying tannins on the end, which allows the fruit to jump out in the mid palate. Got a lit bit of savory, which now makes sense now that i see there is some syrah in it. 98 points parker
Update: didnt take as much air time as i thought. We took the last glass home and it was very nice. So a short decant is probably fine
