In the four years since my last bottle there has been little evident aging in terms of colour or aromatics
On the palate it seems denser, with tannins more chewy and pervasive. Solid acidity moderates the power, but definitely a wine requiring solid food accompaniment

Very disappointing. First thing that hits me on this wine is the alcohol. Is this hard alcohol or wine? Way out of balance. Drying tannins. Very harsh. Not enough fruit to compete with the alcohol and oak. Medium short finish.

This wine does not fit my palate; seems out of balance and fruit forward; not my kind of wine.

Ripe dark red berries and cherry on nose, touch of almond
Spicy, moderate intensity, underlies long wide tannins finishing with long taut cherries
