Elegant, ripe red fruits with leather, cedar, and potpourri. Looking forward to seeing how this blossoms over the evening. Edit: After hours of being open additional notes of truffles, olives, and smoke began to emerge. Delicious.

Cassis with a bit of soil and earth on the nose. The palate is cloaked with new oak - vanilla, baking spice, cedar, nuttiness. Underneath that new oak, you get quite a bit of blueberry, red cherry, with some mushroomy character. Smooth and round. Come back at age 10 and hopefully the new oak will be integrated by then. I would drink this but not with the price it is available for. 88+

Wonderful wine with notes of freshly sanded wood, leather, blackberry and singed sugar coming through after opening up. Really great.
