Last tasted a bit over 2 years ago. A very nice wine from "the damned" 2011 vintage. Wine has grown a bit since January 2017. Rating from 91 then to 93 now. Nose of dried wildflowers and spice. Black cherry cola entry, graphite, spice, medium + bodied wine in the front with a hint of green pepper in the middle yet the core is unmistakably black cherry. A dusty yet fruity finish. Could not ask for more. Good acidity from start to finish and went well with food and by itself as well. Very intrigued by this wine. Have 1 more left and really think it has more growing up to do.
