Drinking in 2024... a little disappointed. Cocoa on the nose. Flavor a little flat. Tart red fruit, tiny bit of sourness. No depth.

Holy crap this wine is drinking well. Fruit bomb on P&P but 30 minutes in decanter and it’s as decadent as they come. Lush fruit in an old world cab franc way with a dollop of Merlot for earthiness. Really solid on this night and so glad to have more bottles to share.
