  Black and blue berry aromas and flavors with roasted meat notes. Still slightly more firm than I’d consider ideal for the level of fruit. Possible upside as it softens?

  Both red and blue fruits but is a step behind the Lefage Bastide tonight. A nice bottle for the pairing tonight, but nothing to write home about.

  Cherry, cassis, blueberry, and violet on the nose. Goes down smooth with a charming Old World muddiness, along with a deep savory thrum and a grind of black pepper. Rustic in the best possible way.

  A questo stadio è un vino troppo alcoolico e piuttosto scomposto. Al naso ricorda il cedro. In bocca è molto acido e aggressivo e va abbinato col cibo giusto. Dopo un paio di giorni cambia poco. Da dimenticare in cantina e sperare nell'evoluzione.

  Since I had this in September 22, it has really evolved well. Still very dark, but it has softened up. Dark berries and dry stone on the nose. Strong, but more gentle on the palate. Rounded tannins and balanced acidity. Great positive surprise!
