30 min decant in glass; Drinking perfectly right now. Plenty of fruit and complexity.

Fragrant and fruity. I was expecting more European style for a Bordeaux blend. It was a good wine but too fruit forward to be a favorite.

Fruit forward and full bodied, with smooth tannins and a long after. Black cherry, plum, white pepper, vanilla and pencil shavings. Mild fresh loam/grass undertone on the after. Very nice.
