See prior 2017 and 2020 notes. Even better with more age. Fruits very fragrant and alive, and nose is even better. More floral notes, even some mountain earthy notes. Finish was 30-40 seconds at least and still has the deep red color I remember. Wine was drinking beautifully right now

Best right from the pnp. Deep, dark berries, smooth, silky texture. For the first hour or two, it says I'm ready, please drink me. It has excellent depth to the berry fruit, great weight and super glide on the palate. At 2 hours in, things begin to change. More astringent tannins show up and the wine becomes a little coarser and disjointed. Another hour and the sweet berry fruit goes a little tart. Still have about a third of the bottle under cork in the wine luggage. Will revisit once we land in Mykonos this afternoon.
Wow, what a pleasure. See my tasting note of 3-13-20, but wine has evened out completely now and has no heat. 40 minute decant and it was ready for everyone's affection to be showered upon it. (Medium sediment.)

Deep ruby, complex aromas of ripe black fruits, very full-bodies, high alcohol, tannins beginning to smooth out. Long, rich finish
