still a little woody and tannic, but much of the fruit is gone. A little disappointing. Fruit on the nose that disappears in the mouth. Very short finish.
so, after waiting a few hours with wine in the glass, the tannin have faded. The wine has some nice fruit and good acidity. Nice bright cherry fruit. I upgraded the score from 85 to 88

Directly from the cellars at cal pla and labeled for us. Opened an hr early but just kept on getting better. No signs of cracking at all- still some tannin but likely at its peak now. I believe a mix of garnatxa Negra, carinyena, cab sauv- so the blending adds nuance and complexity.aged a year or more in French oak.a real treat and as noted needed at least an hr decant and airing and just keep Improving

A tough of cigar box, tar and dark berries. Smooth, perfectly balanced with a lovely hint of tannins. Beautiful and in perfect shape.
