Pop and pour indeed. Plummy fruit and soft tannins. I prefer a bit more structure, but will be pleasing for those who like them softer. Drink now for sure

Decanted one hour before service. In the glass, dark red with a slightly pink/orange meniscus, shading to dark red/maroon at the core. On the nose, beef blood, lavender, and thyme. On the palate, plums, pepper, lavender, and juicy peach, with largely resolved tannins on a moderately long finish. I'd bet this is the plateau - time to give one a go if you haven't already.

Pop and pour. This is singing now with nice mellow red and black fruit, smoke, and mature tannins. Drink over the next few years.

A little smoky, a little old world. Drinking great with just a little air. Right in its window.

Pop and pour. Savory dark fruit on the palate with some quince notes in the finish. Sturdy, smoky wine for people who like this style.
