Tobacco, leather, and perfectly ripe blackberries invade both nose and mouth with a tinge of black licorice resting underneath. Medium acidity, medium+finish, and boldness of flavor all point to a wine that while beautiful now, will only get better with another 5 years. — 8 days ago

Wow…
Prominent aromas of bitter cherries (amaro), crème de cassis and dark chocolate upon opening. Aeration reveals subtle hints of cough drops, potpourri, porcini and beefstew.
Still a baby (I’ll let my batch of 2017s slumber for 5 - 8 years), but certainly a beautiful one.
Served next to Iberico sirloin, lentils, almondcrumble and drops of Madeira.

I mean…lovely. Figs and dates and broody baking spice with surprising liveliness. — 3 days ago
