November 12, 2021 - Deep ruby. Tannins softened, whilst acids mouthwatering, and having deep nuances of redcurrant and cassis, with mint and a freshness resembling morning dew, and afterwhich some dark florals and tar. Long finish, and complex

Hour 2, somewhat sweet on the nose with red fruit and light spice. Tannins are well integrated. Very slight presence of oak, just enough to know it was used, but not enough to mask any other notes. Smooth and drinking quite well. May have a few more years left.1 person found this helpful Comment -
