Fruity initial attack although restrained given the age (from looking at the color) Cassis and candy (cherry) on the palate initially.
Thinner on the back end with some significant acidity which probably shows the initial lack of heavy oak and tannins I assume.

Consistent with last note in 2021. Brambly black fruit and berries, oak spice and just enough tannins to give it some grip. Velvety smooth finish. Last one. Great value.

PNP - sweet and a little hot smells a little off in a large bdx glass (sour?). Some promising elements of mint, tea with the dark fruit. Will check back in after more time.

Inky, dark crimson color. Blackberry, black currant, dusty baking spices, mocha and mint on the nose and palate. Velvety and fruit-forward on the palate and finish. Tannins fully resolved and compliant, adding just enough grip to remind you they're there. Extraordinary value at purchase ($30); drinks as well as some of the big boys at 5x the price.
