Never thought of this producer as Bordeaux in style but this is all the way there. Black cherry, black licorice, tannic rust. Can still go for a long time. Maybe I got a rock star bottle but it’s worth looking around for this one.

Popped and poured. Needed more air. And picked up some of the 2011 green note that heretofore hadn't really detected in this wine.
