Very enjoyable blend. Nice structure and constrained fruit. Needs decanting to come to life.

I've had this before, but don't remember it being this enjoyable. Deep purple in the glass shiny and bright with slow sleek legs. Big black fruit on the nose upon open (blueberries and blackberries) but over an hour they've been met with white pepper and beets and perhaps another root that I'm not versed with. This medium plus bodied wine is very well balanced. It paired perfectly with 3 different cuts of beef--tenderloin, strip, and ribeye. The tannins are mellow to medium, and there is very little in terms of acidity. I'd say this is ready to drink and I may buy more of the 14 now. It's a great steak wine.

Sharp flavor, needs to breath extensively before drinking.
