Aromas show the evolution of the wine but also the staying power. Savory scents of herbs of sage and marjoram come with notes of tomato leaf, roasted bell pepper, white pepper and decaying florals play in front of the notes of wild blackberry, plum, dried blueberry, cocoa, and hints of chocolate mint, earth, cigar box and coffee. The palate shows above moderate acidity that brings lift and liveliness to the wine. Tannins have integrated nicely and are moderate with a velvety texture. Flavors, for me are in a really nice spot right now showing good balance between fruit and savory notes that are woven together nicely. Sage and suede leather come with notes of coffee, cocoa, blackberry, black plum, bruised mint, earth and cigar tobacco. The finish lingers easily. Decanted off the light sediment.

PnP. Dark red color with purple tints. Cardamom, cedar, and baking spices on the nose. Same on the palate with some cherries. Decent tannins and alcohol present on the finish. Medium depth. Hot finish.
