Big, rich and integrated for a wine of this style. Seamless integration except for the aol, which will integrate fully with time. Very well made and very enjoyable wine. Buy. Needs 10 more years to show if it has the capacity to age into a great wine.

Even with a solid decant this is still tasting young. Very big wine. Oak is pretty much In balance with dark fruit. Definitely can hold for a while.

Totally destroyed the cork opening it but after filtering and decanting, it was well worth the trouble. Strong green pepper, great fruit with a flaming, crisp finish. Thankful at Thanksgiving!
