March 19, 2020 - Decanted for 30 minutes. Delicious aromas of black cherries, still with a racey aspect to it, wonderful! The palate shows resolved tannins, excellent acidity, and good fruit, sour cherry with a tiny touch of toffee. Wonderful now, I suggest it won't get better.

Jotova Does not like this wine:
August 30, 2019 - Getting some nice mature and grape specific notes, but it's all overshadowed by the oak and the alcohol. Had higher hopes for it, as it was nice when young, but this was a bit sad.
I think this is past it's prime, onwards the alcohol and oak are just gonna grab more attention. -
