Wow, Structured, and balanced. Almost rustic till the finish when the power hits you. This needs heavy beef, so tasty.

Big but balanced. Dark blackberry. Good acidity. Calls for steak.

I am not sure about this one. It was very tight even after an hour of decanting. Nose was weak which I thought was odd. Some dark fruits and ash was all I got. Some more dark fruit and wet leaves and a hint of chocolate was about all I took away from this wine. Did re-bottle and tried it over 24 hours later. Did improve with a lot more expression all around.

Light body, but pleasant.
