This pairs best with red meat from the grill and less with anything that has acid (tomatoes). Decant and it’s beautiful! TBL

Almost eight years and it's enough, I think. I haven't smelled and tasted any fruits. The wine is very oak with a wet earthy notes, leather. High acidity, but tannins are rather soft.

2014 tough year due to hail and humidity. Mellow with lots of fruit expression and spice.
