  Dark fruit, black cherry, blackberry. Chocolate, liquorice, boiled sweets, juicy fruit. Rich in the mouth, fine powdery tannin. Long finish. Enough acid to be fresh. Excellent.

  Medium to dark garnet. Nose is earthy and gamey at first with some high toned purple/black fruit and new leather; revisting this an hour or two later, lovely florals and spices, perhaps cinnamon. Palate is about medium with a nice juicy quality, finishing with notes of herbal tea and lavender. This is yum. Crack one if you have it.

  Poured half the bottle into an empty water pitcher about 30 minutes before service and enjoyed over several hours. The 2015 pours a deep ruby with medium+ viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. Some slight signs of sediment. The initial glass showed very powerful bramble fruit with leather, coffee, licorice and mushrooms. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium + tannins and medium acid. The notes from the nose were confirmed. The finish was long and rich. Overall impression was that this bottle very good but showing signs of secondary characteristics sooner than expected. Several hours later, I revisited the remaining half of the bottle and, to my surprise, it had really brightened up! The tannin had become more fierce, and the secondary characteristics were largely gone. It’s almost as if it got younger after extended exposure to air. Hard to say with any confidence what the future holds for these but they are plenty fun to drink now and I don’t expect them to fall apart anytime soon. That being said, they may need several hours of air to freshen up.

  Raspberries, cherries, garrigue and some rustic flavors in the beautiful bouquet. Same on the palate, good fruits, civilized oak usage, beautiful acidity, a slight touch of pleasant bitterness and a good length. Beautiful wine.
