  Easy wine of the night among three bottles opened to go with a spare rib ragu. It was showing it's age in a very nice way with smooth fruit backed by soil and floral notes and it still had enough stuffing to hold its own with the big flavorful sugo. Greenblanket is happy that he has several more bottles.

  Again a nice showing from this wine. It has gained more complexity since my last bottle four years ago.

  Popped and poured. Vacu-sealed and refrigerated. Drank over about 8 days. From first to last glass consistently good. Mouthful of herbs, cocoa, tart cherry and a hint of brine. Not smooth, but rather succulent and earthy with a note of oyster shell. Very surprised how complex this was and it has at least three to five years of development ahead.

  Delicious again. I have a little darker perception of the fruit than a few months ago.

  This is an upside surprise vs. the notes here! Nice dark nose of black cherry and earth with brighter black but sweet and ripe cherry on the palate. Plenty of earthiness and bitters and pleasing, soft tannins. Finishes with a bit of barrel spice.
