Opened and shared around an evening fire. Ripe fruit on the nose with tobacco, plum and cassis. Full and dense with a long finish that rewarded those patient enough to let it sit in the glass. Its huge backbone will carry this wine for many years.

Not much nose. Green apple and lemon-like tartness. Acidity was high and the lingering astringency on the finish was unappealing as a sipping wine, may pair better with a fruit tort.

Slight efforvesence and fruit makes this an easy wine to drink, though nothing here commands additional attention
