  July 27, 2023 - Color: Deep Ruby.
  Aromatic Intensity: M+.
  Sweetness: Dry.
  Acidity: M+.
  Tannin Level: High.
  Tannin Nature: Ripe, chalky.
  Alcohol: H (14.0%).
  Body: Full.
  Flavor Intensity: M+.
  Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Blackberry, black cherry, black plum, licorice, sharpened pencil, garrigue, charred wood, baking spice, espresso grounds. Fruit is concentrated and ripe.
  Other Observations:
  Finish: M+.
  Quality: Very Good. The fruit concentration, tannin, and alcohol are in balance, with the medium(+) acid adding vibrancy to what otherwise would be a “heavy” wine. If the intensity and finish were longer, or there were a little more complexity of flavors, this wine would be outstanding.
  Aging: Suitable for aging. There is a lot of concentrated black fruit that can transition into tertiary flavors and aromas, adding complexity. The tannins would also benefit from softening further. The medium(+) acid and high tannins, along with the high alcohol, will ensure the wine is well-preserved as it slowly ages.
