Apr 30th, 2017Could be the best of the night. Rich, balanced, puppy fat gone. Now showing ethereal components. Stunning in its youth.

Apr 29th, 20151.5 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A phenomenal dark ruby red color. On the nose: black fruit, currants, cedar, floral, leather, forest floor, and a hint of menthol. Taste: soft, rich, structured medium plus body wine with dark plum, cassis, earth, spice, milk chocolate, and a minerally dark cherry dry medium plus finish. YUM! Drinks well with the decant and a long life ahead of it!
