  Still skews a bit lean, as did the bottle we drank in Dec 2020, but this is starting to soften and mellow a bit, and yields a bit more aromatically. Hard to judge where this might be in another 3 years, but the trajectory seems positive.

  Really wanted to wait another year or two, but the sudden dinner situation forced my hand and opened this a bit earlier than intended. No regrets at all.
  
  Beautiful dark ruby colour in the glass with beguiling scents of dark cherries, ripe berries, and some earthiness. Started dinner with some beers so this bottle was left open for about half-an-hour after tasting but really didn't need any lengthy aeration. Palate was smooth and round with silky tannins and mild tartness. Pronounced rich dark berries with some herbal notes and hints of dry leaves in the background. Good weight and body giving it a satisfying finish. Not a complex wine but very well balanced.
  
  I'm a big fan of DuMol wines for quality and price and this one delivered as expected. No issues with opening it now but I would be excited to see how it evolves in 3-5 years.

  Delicious but early in drinking window. Lots of cherry and blackberry, anise, herbs, earth on the nose. Well balanced and dynamic feel on the palate but richness and complexity should build with more age. Silky tannins, medium-long finish with flourish of dark fruit. Love it.
