First vintage of this wine to make it to Virginia. Polished and fresh, straightforward juicy palate. Can't complain.

Plum compote, cigar box, cocoa, blackberry. Voluptuous, chalky tannins. Still have time to soften. It lengthens the wine. Needs decanting to unfold.

V10. Really like this wine, took 90 minutes to open up. Soft plum and cedar bouquet. Big fruit. Jammy blackberry, plum and black pepper. Extended time tightens the tannins a bit which adds to the finish, otherwise there is a big bowl of spicy juice.
