Pop and pour. Notes from 24 hrs open (unrefrigerated on the counter overnight). On the nose: wild strawberry, sweet tobacco, vanilla and spice. On the palate: elegant and lovely acidity with more sweet strawberry and spicy/sweet tobacco. Soft, velvety tannin on the finish. Excellent already, but will certainly improve with age.

Textbook Perfect steak wine! Big tannins with Dark fruit, charcoal, mint, and earthy notes. Drank with grilled ny strip steak. Excellent!
