Earthy nose with lingering minty herbal notes on the palate and smooth, integrated tannins. Tasting beautifully fresh out of the bottle ( not much change with an hour of air)

Easy candidate for WOTY, if we're playing that schoolkid's game. This thing is still a baby now at 7 -- I bet it's got 10-15 more, easy -- and yet it's drinking gorgeously. I didn't take tasting notes -- but I remember plums, chocolate, cherries and aromas I'd never encountered heretofore in another wine. Smooth tannins, but not without a little grip. Totally beguiled. Bought the shop's last bottle and will seek out more. My goodness.

Nose - earthy, smoky plum, minty. Intriguing nose. Desirable
Mouth - savory-sweet plum cherry mix. Leaves you wanting more. Nice!
