Somewhat grumpy when opened this morning. Another solid 2+ in the decanter helped while dinner cooked. Black cherry compote, Provençal herbs, crushed rocks, underbrush, licorice, white pepper, a kiss of something animal. Still closed but love the edgy texture the acid gives to this wine. There's this stony tannin profile that gives complexity to the wine. Paired well with farro stuffed duck, mushrooms, roasted veg

Angular, fruit forward and super creamy on the nose. Super juicy.

The Mrs. says it’s not her style but I dig it.

2013. Reticent on nose but open enough on palate to enjoy.

Dark bramble fruit and licorice nose. Over ripe berry, licorice, and a bit of cassis. Earthy and raw.
