Big wine with a lot of heat. Continues to evolve the longer she's open. Black current, cedar and a hint of herbs.

Silky cherry and blackberry fruit--a touch of spice, with a pleasant wood finish.

Requires a few more years in the bottle but a good decant and a few hours do wonders even now.

Too early to open but just got my shipment and couldn't resist to sample the release. Tons of fruit, wound up tighter than bob usually delivers a claret which I'd say will allow this to cellar well for 10-20 yrs. I'll update when I open the next one in 5+ years. Delicious as always.
