Pop and pour. Started to shine at 30 minutes in the glass. No rush on this as I suspect it is just starting to enter its drinking window. Mild earthy background with ample red fruits emerging at the 30 minute mark. Hard to recommend at the prices I’m seeing now, but would gladly buy more at the 42 I paid four years ago.

Nicely balanced wine that checks all the boxes. Tobacco leaf, dark fruits and chocolate on the finish. Despite 15.3% alc this wine is smooth and balanced. Soft dusty tannins accompany the long finish. Drinking well right now.
