Looked like a good deal on WTSO so bought a few bottles. Opened one today. Garnet red color, dark cherry and leathery nose, very tight on opening with intense leathery tannins, at 90 minutes more balanced with emerging dark cherry as the tannins reduced, seemed to be much more balanced at 3 hours with soft earthiness/minerals emerging as tannins softened and lingered. May cellar the rest a bit but very happy with the quality/value.
