This is just doing great. Aromatics were great on popping but they faded fast which is the only downside. It’s got great acidity and a nice long finish that sticks around. Listening to America the Beautiful :) Happy 4th!

Only a half glass for me, the rest was for my wife and an honored guest.
Garnet with Amber rim. Medium bodied. Nose initiates with a blueberry-cream. On the palate it's smooth as silk. A little smokiness collides with the blueberries turning them wild. The experience ends with a tart cleanliness with lingering dried leaves. This is very complex-- lots of grapes. Spectacular!!!

Beautiful châteauneuf with pure dark fruit on the nose. Amazing concentration of flavour, again dark fruits and some baking spices -- blackberry pie. Strong tannins. The finish never ends.
