Here it is, 2021, and this wine is showing so well! Very fragrant out of the wine fridge and on opening. Poured a half-glass before letting sit for an hour and this wine is showing a lot intensity, with notes of deep chocolate, plums, licorice. Continued to evolve over the evening and has plenty of life for the future.

Inky purple color, almost black. Big nose of blackberry jam, smoke, charred oak, vanilla and creme de cassis. Similar flavors on the palate with smoky and dark jammy fruit flavors dominating along with some vanilla and oak notes. Medium+ acid and tannins. Big, palate coating mouthfeel with a sweet finish. The fruit is really intense and sweet, almost too much, but the wine was actually much better on day 2. Nice PS with a lot of intensity. Would probably benefit from some more bottle time.
