This vintage has improved greatly since my last bottle in 2017, and should remain at its peak for another few years. Dark red / purple in color, a big bold cabernet with refined tannins and moderate acid to match the fruit, with a bit of tar and tobacco as well.

Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of black pepper, thistle and Kirsch. Flavors of Kirsch, currants and cherries. Drink with some air to open up over the short to perhaps medium term.

Really starting to come into its own. Full of fruit and some nice depth. More like a $30 bottle though.
