Drank 6/1/20. Very nice with grilled lamb chops.
Nose of cherry cola, blue fruit, and some sweet baking spice. This is in a nice place, with similar flavors of cherry cola, blueberry, black currant, leather, backed by medium, fully integrated tannins. Lovely balance. Medium finish. Drink now and over the next couple of years.
3/22/8/4/3 +50 = 90 pts.

Medium ruby color. Aromas of blackberry, leather forest floor and a hint of barnyard funk. The pretty lush palate includes tastes of black berry/plum/currant, black licorice, baking spices and vanilla cola. Nice hint of minerality on the long and smoky finish. Medium-plus body, acidity and tannins. Creamy texture. Might be a bit passed its prime but more than drinkable. Appreciate you sharing this one, Ron B!
