December 5, 2023 - Spectacular tonight. Strong tannins are soft, sweet and unnoticed unless you look for them.
Ripe dark plums. Ripe black cherries, rose perfume, vanilla custard on the back end.
What a wine!! -

September 27, 2023 - One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. No sediment in screen. During decant, moderate aromas of plums and cocoa came forth. Wine was clear; purple from bowl to rim. After resting, nose neither moderated nor become more nuanced; plums and cocoa. In the mouth: lots of black fruit, tannins still softening with a nice balance. Wine was smooth on the tongue. Great wine with food. Long finish continuing to feature the cocoa. I believe this wine has at least seven more years of good drinking and maybe even beyond that!
