WARNING - Biased Review. this wine continues to drink well now that it has finally re-awoken from its slumber. Purple in color. The nose is very nice with black olives, black raspberries, roasted meats and slight floral notes. Except for the bright fruit, it shows very northern Rhone-like. On the palate, this is deep with layers that unwind in the glass. Earthy notes along with black raspberry fruit. Good acidity. Works with heartier foods. This is closing in on peak but should have a decade left so no hurry. A bit of air before serving is a good idea but this no longer needs a long decant.
