This wine is ripe and beautiful - dark, with a nose of blackberries, cassis and violets. There is a hint of tobacco and spice there as well, a tribute to the perfectly finessed aging, eight months in neutral oak. The palate explodes on the tongue with dark fruit, vanilla and herbs. The fruit is the story, but don't sell complexity short. It offers a lot to ruminate on while you sip.

Apr 7th, 2021Deep ruby in color; cassis, black cherries, and graphite on the nose; medium acidity; high tannins; tastes like black plums, blackberries, wet slate, and a little eucalyptus with a long finish. I think it's good. Tastes old world to me. Nellie liked it after it decanted for an hour and I agree it was better.
