December 3, 2019 - Medium to deep garnet red. Well rounded nose with spices, perfumed, dusty cherries and a hint savory. Much more integrated in day two. Medium acidity with medium tannins (5.5/10) and a medium body. A bit savory and dirty on the palate with a bit of cherries and cedar. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2022.

December 30, 2018 - Again, I really enjoyed this wine. This time, the missus did also. Relatively opaque. Gave it several hours. Dusty nose. Very pleasant full bodied wine with integrated dark blue and red fruit. Pairs very well with duck. Long finish.
