PnP. Not much nose. Deep dark cherry color. Tight and tannic. Raspberry tartness. Wood/bark notes. Granite tail. Some zing and spice to mouth feel. Not a delicate wine. Improved over ~ 20 min in glass as zing/spice mellowed and fruit became more prominent. I don’t love it. I don’t hate it. Have a couple more bottles. Will wait 2-3 years to open next one.

Should drink now. Unlikely to improve with more storage. Meniscus is amber. Fair bit of sediment in the bottle. Nose is sweet - figs and grapes. Mouth feel is soft but still structured. Overall can taste the age, in a good way. Leather, dried fruit, grapes. Tannins not obvious, but finish remains tight. Drink now.
