Still super tannic. Needs another 5-10 years or a day with air. Or many days under Argon. A big wine for the grape; all the classic notes are there, aka roses, leather, pencil shavings. I also get slate, dark sweet cherry. Hint blueberries. I would like this to be a little more elegant. At this point more of a meat, steak wine - perhaps wild boar. A very good deal at the time - A Lyle Fass wine.

Oct 10th, 2026Camping in Anza Borrego. 93F in mid April. But at night really pleasant. And if you go camping you need a wine which can take a beating in the desert and still tastes awesome. Stored on ice and then tasted with Rib-eye steak from the grill. Lilac, quite tannic, leather, cherry - of course it is blasphemy to open this so soon should have bought more!!!!!
