Deep purple in color; black cherries, blackberries, and wood smoke on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins; tastes like black plums, blueberries, wet slate, and a hint of black pepper with a really long finish. — 10 days ago
Delicious. Loads of dark fruit, black plum, black cherry, cassis, etc. plus some spice plus some earthy olive notes. And great structure with a long finish. — 18 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner which lasted a couple do hours. The 2015 pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of powerful ripe red and dark fruit: black brambles, dark cherries, black pepper, boozy Christmas fruitcake, licorice, garrigue, leather and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with sneaky medium+ tanning that build with air. The acid is there too although I wouldn’t call it the main character. It does, however, play a strong supporting roll. Definitely a wine of texture. It has been a handful of years since my last bottle of the 2015 and it’s evolving very nicely! Secondary flavors are starting to show and everything remains balanced. Extended air did get it to freshen up a bit so I’d say this still has a long life ahead. Drink now with a healthy decant and through 2035. — a month ago
