Saturday, March 26, 2022 - This wine had a deep red center with with tawny/yellow rims. It looked a bit more advanced than other bottles I have had, which was surprising because the fill was good. The medium+ intensity nose of roasted meat, mocha, minerals, and tan spices was attractive.

In the mouth, this wine was rich but somewhat angular and slightly dry at first but it developed over several hours of air. While it improved substantially, it still had some angularity to the tannin underneath excellent, complex fruit.

This bottle was best consumed now while others I have had are barely coming into the drinking zone.
