Savory with spice note on the nose just popped open the bottle. Cooked onion/ mushrooms with dark berries, dark cherry, fig and prune. On the palate: dried dark fruits, black cherry, raisin, dried fig and left licorice. Cinnamon, clove. Med to med plus tannin, med plus acidity, med finish, med body with noticeable alcohol. Had spicy soy cause ground pork with noodles with the wine. Beautiful pairing.

Black plums and perfumed florals on the nose. Blue fruits, black plums, dark cherries, boysenberries, savory meats, edgy minerals, wild purple florals, sticky medium tannins, good acidity but the finish falls a little short.

The most amazing arc of purple to red to blue fruit over the course of an hour in decanter that I've ever seen. This could easily be laid down for 8-10 years.

I was disappointed when I had this vintage about 2 years ago, flavors were sharp and conflicted. A few extra years in the bottle really served this blend well. Be patient.
