Bright lite fruit entry turns to hard minerality.

Tannin dominated at first both on the nose and taste, with time some very dark fruit came out

Very nice dark fruit, chocolate... decanted 3 hours ahead of time based on reviews, definitely was necessary. Will save the next few bottles for some years.

Long legs with heavy tannins gets much better as it breathes. Need to give it more time to breath next bottle. Went great with steak

Soft up front tones plum and dark fruit and has a long after taste that’s leather, wet stone and earthy. I think a lot of wine lovers will like this but it wasn’t my favorite because of the strong after taste
