Blackcurrant, raisin, fig, and violets. Delightful wine. Felt that it could have sat another few years, but drinkable now. Elegant tannins and balanced acidity.

Not in a good place right now. Very muddled, disjointed. Needs time

Gorgeous! Picked up notes of fresh, ripe blackberries on the nose as soon as I opened it, and the blackberries came on strongly with the first sip. Faint tobacco and woodiness led into curbed-but-firm tannins. Crazy-deep viscosity; the legs hung on for long minutes! This definitely had another 4-5 years in it to smooth those tannins out, but it was truly delicious even in 2024.
