Certain aged wines have that caramel/honeyed nose to them, this is showing that to be true again.
Salted boysenberry, pomegranate pith, dried cherry, popsicle stick tannins that still hold the fruit with every teeth mark. A little playful acidity peeks out every now and then, and helps allow this wine to become a wonderful weekend’s end ponderer..

Had their ‘12 Sarmassa last year. Strawberry, pith, rose. Big, structured tannins. Killer for price. Coravin’d a few times before finishing with Detroit style pizza.

2006 vintage on 2.12.17
Dark red transparent with just some age showing on the edge. Fruity nose with some herbs too. Drinking smoothly. Still some tanins.
