Saturday, February 29, 2020 - Opened yesterday with big ripe dark fruit and a beautiful floral scent. This developed to gamy notes with popure and balsamic notes but still that ript dark fruit persists. Excellent balance and depth. Long round juicy finish. Good structure for mid term cellaring. Drink now-2026.
