Well,
Lying this down for a couple of years def changed its temperament.
From angry teenager full of emotion, to eager and ready to take on the world 20 something.

Smells of roasted Brazil nuts.


Has a bit of that flavoring too. Smooth, medium bodied, Brazil nut, blackberry seed, tarragon, oregano, all dark fruit, with a well integrated tannin/acid combo.
I fear this is end of life. Drink within the next 3. For sure.

Must mushrooms - hen of the woods.

Medium bodied, with Saline driven berry tones - Unsweetened blueberry applesauce, hints of anise, black olive.

This wine is tight, and young, and I have robbed the cradle, again.

New wine for me all together. Everyday wine. Lots going on with tons of acidity and alcohol.

I liked it. Softer tannins. Nice fruits. Easy Sunday drinking.

Purchased in Anglet for around 10 euro, not worth the time, effort or liver to even finish the bottle.

Very good wine. Nicely complex and enjoyable, but might be even better with some more time in the bottle. We will get more. $20
