Youthful, but in a perfect spot, the nose expresses blackberries, smoke, charcoal, wild herbs and espresso with little effort. Full-bodied, lush, firm, and filled with salty black cherries, blackberries, chocolate, licorice, and plums, the minerality becomes more apparent as the finish lingers. Pop and pour, or decant for 1 hour, either way this is singing. Drink from 2024-2040.

Salty plums, oceanic nuances, licorice, truffle, mint, cocoa and cherries create the nose. Rich, lush, layers of vibrant, black and red fruits, salt, spice and herbs taste as good as they feel. Popped and poured, the wine hit all the right notes the moment it splashed into the glass. Drink from 2023-2035.

Big nose of earth, tobacco On palette, lots of green pepper but not overly vegetal. Tons of cassis on finish with a hint of cherry and just a peak of oak. Great mouthfeel , velvety, unctuous. Long, long finish. Quite delightful. Would drink up over next 3-5 years, probably at peak.

Lots of green pepper on nose. Lots of black fruit on palette, some cherry notes. A touch of moss, mushrooms. Nice finish. Definitely at peak (or slightly past). Definitely drink now.

Pretty good although not as vibrant as last bottle. Wine was a tad sour
