Hey not bad. Give it half and hour. Or maybe 5 yrs in the bottle then 30m more? It's nice, not young... But it really feels like it's still growing and you should wait. This sounds more of a slam than it should. Tasty wine. Prob a great one in 5-10 years.

Paired well with steak tartare and short rib ravioli. Good balance of acid and tannins.
