Feb 13th, 20212014 tasted 12/2018. Full bodied dark crimson, tremendous concentration. Very ripe bramble fruit dominates the nose, followed by hints of vanilla. Ripe black fruit, dry, silky tannins on the palate. Again the concentration is superb, high alcohol at 14.8% but it is balanced by the fruit and a good acid structure.
