The nose was remarkably pretty, while remaining intensely red-fruited with crushed raspberry, sweet herbs, tobacco, loamy dark soil and cedar. Hints of raw meat and beef's blood came forward over time lending a savory note, yet never getting in the way. On the palate, I found velvety textures offset by a mix of black fruit, brisk acids and spice, with hints of savory herbs and pepper. It finished fresh for it's age with lingering spice and hints of tobacco.

Nicely layered, and completely secondary, this is impressive for its depth and finish. Dark fruits, flower shop and braised steak, with a hint of earthy cedar. Such a long finish. Drink now - 2020.

A bit peppery but still alive. Cork was super spongey and split on me but no signs of seepage. Nice wednesday night surprise!

Big, rich, somewhat one dimensional, purple fruit, mellowed out a bit, quite nice though. Green Street/EWG.
