95 Points

Tuesday, April 4, 2023 - Wine gathering at RJ's; 4/4/2023-4/7/2023 (South Carolina): Pale color with noticeable brown. Fully mature complex tertiary dominating nose, dry red fruit, cherry liqueur, dry cherry, fruitcake, licorice, strong tobacco, brown sugar, garrigue, root beer, strong ginger, cinnamon and other baking spices, and earth. Fully integrated palate, subtle dry red fruit, cedar, silky and fluid, sweet tannins, and a medium to long dry red fruit driven finish with tobacco at the end. I mentioned to Justin this is a Rayaesque with garrigue and dry cherry. He mentions lacking strong black pepper which I agree. The fruit has faded and the expression is mostly tertiary which is really fascinating.
