WOW and a double Holy $#!^ !!! Had the opportunity to enjoy this from two bottles last night with a business partner who has always been ridiculously generous when selecting restaurant wines. First bottle was decanted for just over an hour prior to initial taste, then consumed over an hour. Incredibly smooth with plenty of soft, fine tanins gently hidden behind a wall of ripe fruit. Tobacco, some red licorice and candied cherries or cranberry. Wonderful floral characteristics and a faultless integration of all components. May be the WOML!! 100 perfect points.

The second bottle was opened and consumed over the next 45-50 minutes, and definately could have benefitted from some air time. It had a slightly spicy flavor upfront, and the red licorice was more prominent, but was still an absolutely outstanding wine.
