  December 21, 2021 - Decanted and showing moderate sediment in bottle.
  Aromas are first warm with the abv content but fade to reveal varietal correct notes of rubbed thyme, sage and fenugreek with scents of pepper, earth, leather, tobacco, dark cocoa, stewed plum, dried blueberry and black currant with hints of cigar box, pencil shavings and vanilla details.
  on the palate the wine is warm despite the airtime. Tannins are velvety and moderate/ moderate-plus and matched by berry-tinged acidity. Flavors follow the nose with herbs, leather, tobacco, cocoa, spice, stewed and dried fruits and notes of vanilla, graphite pencil and earth. The finish lingers moderately.
