My third vintage of Soul of a Lion, and the best one by far. Beautiful nose, long and expressive. The wine jumps right out of the bottle, not sure decanting makes much of a difference. Grippy tannins early on. Layers of fruit with cassis in the foreground. Elegant and balanced. Smooth and complex. Fantastic flagship for Daou. I am impressed. Also, this is my wine #1,500 on Delectable. Never thought I would taste this many wines, lol. Wine is good for the soul.
