9.1

Rustic, earthy, plenty of tannin, and ripe blackberry. Great food wine. Pairs nicely with rustic dark meat dishes. Drinking great five years in, but feels like this one has aging longevity for more integration. — a day ago

8.7

Cranberry, blueberry, cacao, and some nuttiness. Not quite as integrated as I’d like, but characteristic enough of the region. Decent, nothing special. — 2 months ago
