  Colour: medium to deep ruby with nearly black core, legs are fast, nearly no sediment
  Nose: herbs, black cherry, red prune, slight raspberry
  Mouth: sweet black cherry, blackberry, prune, velvet smooth tannins, medium acidity
  Finish: bitter chocolate, long and nicely structured, feels still young and fruit driven

  Great as a pop-and-pour this time. Round and approachable.

  Spicy and full of dark fruit, earth and spice. This has aged very well and got better with air. Paired very well with blackened redfish.

  Yikes, that’s good. I’m more of a Pinot Noir person and tend not to favor Rhônes, but I’ll happily take this. Nice rounded flavors and softer tannins.

  Yesterday's bottle seemed to have a better showing.
