1 hour decant(lots of sediment). A splendid dark magenta color with some bricking. On the nose: expressive perfumed notes of dark fruit, cream brulee, musky wet earth, mint, black olives, leather. Taste: silky, opulent, balanced, elegant wine with blackberry/dark cherry, currants, minerals, coffee mocha, and a spiced graphite long lingering finish. YUM! This wine will blow you away!

Oct 31st, 20261 hour decant(lots of chunky/fine sediment). A magnificent dark magenta color. On the nose: Compelling notes of dark plum/cherry, musky forest floor, minty chocolate, mushrooms, floral. Taste: explosion of silky wonderfulness with jammy dark fruit, currants, crushed gravel, sweet spice, coffee mocha, and a mineral-graphite longgg finish. YUM! Beautiful with time to go. Had to wade back into the 07 vintage and this worked.
