Surprisingly still quite Ruby in color with mulberry, blackberry, plum, strawberry, cedar, fresh turned earth, forest floor, leather and mocha. Great texture - silky Anna full bodied but thanks to good acidity it’s still agile on the palate. The wine opens up in the glass over 90 minutes - lovely experience, long fish, outstanding quality.

HWT - we both really liked this wine - barely a slight preference for aerated. Bold and dry, $56 retail and I’d pay that!

Great wine but I was looking for more complexity and it was not there, it might need more time to open up....
