March 29, 2024 - Deep ruby red. Beautiful nose of ripe cassis, slight oak. In the palate, smooth tannins and juicy ripe fruits appear, well balanced, slight tobacco leaves. Really delicious and still going strong! Should last quite a few more years! Will keep other till next year (if I can wait!). Long finish.

September 5, 2023 - PnP - Color is a deep crimson with bricking on the edge. Nose is immidate with black currant, some dried herbs, a bit of black pepper.
Palate confirms the blend with currant, leather and a medium-long finish.
This was a surprisingly good wine which has aged beautifully and while at its peak, still far from done.
