Very tight. Decanted for 2 hours to begin, but waited another 2 to drink most of the bottle. Distinctly caramel and cherries on the nose. Tasting of blackberries, cherries and.. maybe somewhat of plum. Lots of tannins but well balanced. Great spicy finish. I was impressed by this wine for the price. In my opinion, much better than last year's (which was a good buy also.) I'd give it 88-90 point range. What do you all think? I searched but couldn't find any tasting notes for this year.
