Good for 3 nights. Best the second, but good all three. Smooth black berry flavors. Back palate tannins even on the third night. Tasty wine though not a lot of depth. Perfectly drinkable still if stored properly.

Black fruit is still first chair. Assigns spice and dusty tannins play a good part of the flavor profile. Not the most complex wine I have ever had, but still enjoyable to drink. This is getting near the end of the drinking window.

Tasted blind. Bright ruby red color turning crimson at the rim with a transparent edge. It has an attractive nose of earth, smoke, black and red currants, tobacco, and meat. The palate is full-bodied but displays a delicate balance and texture. The aforementioned flavors are consistent all throughout. Finishes with nice, fleshy, refined tannin with a hint of spice. Drink now until 2023. 90+

Consumed over the course of two evenings, very nice on day one, but incredible on day two.
