Really a pretty nice bottle. Very dark fruit influence towards the middle and finish and lighter on the front and back. The nose of this wine seems to have a purple fruit influence. Black roasted figs and a little bit of cigar ash. Entry of this wine is mature black fruit, black licorice, tar and dark chocolate. There is still a toasted tannin and fine grit finish yet not much seems to be falling out yet. I am really not sure that this wine is expressing fully, and I think it probably needs another couple of years.

Aerated 6 hrs, consumed over 2 hrs as the full fruits emerged on the nose and palate. The acid level are in balance here. Delicious.
