  A fine showing at a tasting of 8 CDP's. Slight medicinal quality but good fruit
  and improved over the course of the evening and my opinion of this wine improved too so that I ended up really liking this wine. It may be at or slightly over its peak but this bottle was very enjoyable.

  Cloudy red, wow nose, complex complete kaleidoscope of cherries, loam, funk, a wine that entices you to just contemplate its aromas, so hard to put down, the palate is excellent with velvety tannins, good depth, in short a wine of high quality that was at its peak

  Wine gathering at RJ's; 4/4/2023-4/7/2023 (South Carolina): Pale color with noticeable brown. Fully mature complex tertiary dominating nose, dry red fruit, cherry liqueur, dry cherry, fruitcake, licorice, strong tobacco, brown sugar, garrigue, root beer, strong ginger, cinnamon and other baking spices, and earth. Fully integrated palate, subtle dry red fruit, cedar, silky and fluid, sweet tannins, and a medium to long dry red fruit driven finish with tobacco at the end. I mentioned to Justin this is a Rayaesque with garrigue and dry cherry. He mentions lacking strong black pepper which I agree. The fruit has faded and the expression is mostly tertiary which is really fascinating.

  Lukta tawny og var mørkebrun i glasset, men gjemte en søt kirsebærfrukt og søt sigar i alt det modne. Eldre herre med røkejakka på. Definitivt drikk nå, men en flott burgervin (!) som livnet til med luft.

  As antique lace, so fragile and refined. Absolutely wonderful, fanning out in the mouth. Beautifully complex and delineated. Long lingering on. Notes of earth, dried prunes, horse-stable and leather, dried raisins. Light in color, bit cloudy. Reminds of Burgundy. Wish I had some more bottles left.
