Medium purple with garnet tones. Dark fruit with earthy notes and mint. Palate of rasin raspberry and earthy notes. Good with orchiette and spicy sausage. Decanted and ready in 2 hours. Keep for another year.

I think this wine has a good drinkability and is at a good spot right now. Some herbs, candied cranberries and blueberries. The palate is quite soothing and balanced with a good acidic backbone. Overall I really like it and it’s close to excellent. I think it could hold for another 5-10 years.

Can't decide if this is past its prime. A bit too bitter on night #1, better on night #2, with dark fruits dominating the flavor profile. But not particularly complex.

Starting with acid and spice but a nice fruit spice nose. Acid supports pasta and tomato sauce really well. Well keep half for tomorrow.

Opulent dark fruit remains, bricking around edge, very subdued tannins compared to bottles in 2012-14. Drink up with a nice ribeye.
