Monday, December 27, 2021 - Impromptu dinner and evening in the cellar - Eileen, Karen, Xander, Kaitllyn (Chez Walker - Princeton, NJ): Needed something to pair with split main dishes of spiked sausage cassoulet and bolognese/fettuccini. Decanted about 2.5 hours in advance.

Medium/dark garnet color, some separation. Nose of dark red fruits, bacon fat, garrigue. Palate of black cherry, red currant, savory, spice and earth. Picking up garrigue, cassis and perfume through the mid palate. Medium weight, long finish.

In an excellent spot now, spice and savory are a perfect companion to like foods in the winter...Last bottle 5 years ago, seems to be evolving slowly at this point. Should drink at this level for a while longer - but really worth opening now...:)
