Dark red purple with a near black core. Abundant nose of red currant and leathery tobacco. On the palate red plum, old leather, and tobacco. Medium long finish extends the palate with a bit more fruit. Drink now through 2026 when the ‘16s of the first label begin to show.

Ignoring the advice of my left-brain I pulled the cork on this ‘16...and I’m glad I did. The right-brain yelled “Buy More and leave it alone for 5 to 6 years.” For now 8.7 with room to grow. (24 hours in it’s a much softer and harmonious wine than before. So, if you can’t wait 5+ years give it at least 2 to 3 hours decant.)
