Tuesday, April 11, 2023 - Pale garnet. Medium (+) nose of sweet red fruit - cherry, cranberry, hint of liquorice, smoke, vanilla, mushroom, forest floor. Developing. Dry, high acidity, med alcohol and body, med tannins, now quite velvety, palate similar to the nose, medium+ intensity, long finish.
Definitely improved since the last tasting almost five years ago. This is outstanding now, drinking beautifully, but has plenty of time ahead of it.
