Ripe black fruits with a note of jam, faint green notes on palate, and sweet spices like cinnamon and vanilla. Perfect structure.

This wine is really, really good. And only going to be getting better. This is a robust blackberry and a nutty character, some dark chocolate and blueberry on the nose. Entry is dark blackberry and cocoa powder with POWER. Finishes with youthful blueberry and blackberry. Still quite tannic but the wine is so powerful that it crushes through this astringency. Already a nice wine, but I am going to save my other bottle for 2023 or later for the hopes of my first 98 or 99.
