Decanted 2 hrs. Notes of dark fruit, minerals and spice. Well balanced with well integrated tannins. Paired nicely with grilled Wagyu steaks and lobster tails.

"Baby are you okay? You've barely touched your Char-spookerie." (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Sweet, juicy, and very ripe with a fair bit of tannin. A hint of strawberry here was the thing I seized onto to enable a GSM guess. Generally bigger and riper than I care to drink, with plenty of structure here for the long haul.

Popped and poured, then drank over 4 hours. Ready to go out of the bottle. Riper fruits and earthy tones predominate. Super delicious. Began to fade a bit after hour 3. Drink now.

The cork crumbled, annoyingly. Dark ruby colour. Vomity and medicinal nose. Raisiny red and dark berries, plum, pastille, toast, chocolate, mineral notes and plenty of spice as well as tarry notes on the palate, with supporting acidity, well-integrated tannin and good length. Warming alcohol on the finish. The fruit was burned and raisny and the alcohol was burning on the finish. Can’t wrap my head around how highly this wine is rated. Can’t stand this burned, raisiny, alcoholic style that produces wines that are only enjoyable in their youth when the fruit covers the structural flaws, but turn into a mess in these wine’s teenage years...
