The appearance is opaque, with a rich burgundy color. The nose is a minerally wet granite, with notes of graphite, blackberry and oak. The body is a delicate balance of silk and heft that makes you remember your youth.

The taste is where this wine this wine scored the lowest in our team tasting, with a dry pallet that may have been affected by the temperature of the wine. The finish was long smooth and bountiful.

All in all an excellent experience, we have one more bottle that will open in a few years, the next time we intend to decant significantly before tasting.
