Monday, January 15, 2024 - Costco buy. Definitely one of my favorites of all time. It's full of oomph, character, finesse, and flavor.

Color. Dark saturated red.

Nose. Spices, roast meat, chocolate, licorice, graphite.

Palate. Cassis, cocoa, anise. It's very, very dense. But elegant and defined. The tannins are refined and fully mature. The acidity is bright and enjoyable.

At 10 years of age, this wine is spectacular. I can't imagine it getting better. I think additional age will show more raisin and prune. Drink up in the next 2-3 years.
