  A right bank nose with strong tones of blackberry, petricole, and tar. Long legs betray the 15% proof and alluring with salmon rim. The mouthfeel is full and tight with tannins and stewed black fruit with black pepper and Bay leaf. Agree with preceding reviewer that this requires more time. 5 years and likely to cellar for 30 more.

  1/21/2021 - Buff Tannen, USXFel Presidente Likes this wine:

  Initially Concord concentrate, black raspberry and blueberry. Fruit hides 15% perfectly, oak imperceptible, only a little leather on the rear, but very simple and no finish. Admirably dense quaff, but fixin to whip out ma pitchfork if I dropped a Benjamin on this fruit juice
  
  Day 2, we have some acid, asphalt and length, and a hint of undefined cherry. Wine. Still, new administration might want to look into this abysmal qpr
  
  So I was incorrect in thinking 10 years would be enough to assay this: it finally showed well on day 5, after I'd consumed 80% of it
  First few days, blind, I'd have thought cab franc
  Last, Northern Rhone. Blood, much more length and concentration
  For shame
  Hold til '23, minimum
