Tasted last night, this was big and broad shouldered. Lots of intense dark fruit, some heat on the finish too. Will be re tasting today.

Been open 3+hrs, still hard as nails. Showing copious amounts of dark blue fruit then the tannic wall. Will revisit tomorrow. Suggest morning decant or 4-5 years sideways. Rating on perception of where it's headed.

Fragrant nose. Jam and pepper front. Smooth, yet slightly acidic finish.

Food friendly. Not going to wow you, but nice juice with a weeknight dinner.
