Generally speaking these are pretty massive wines. Upon release to my case they’re super overbearing way too much fruit and pack a huge punch but after a couple years in the cellar they do mellow considerably. I think the wine is drinking well now - the nose is expressive, In the middle there’s an elegance to the black fruit that’s presented, tannins are almost completely gone medium finish
