Opened and recorked and stuck back in cellar for 36 hours. Purple ruby with a faint water line at the rim. Taste is smooth on its own but clashed a bit with some overly sweet tomato sauce. Herbal on the finish. Really enjoyable, but perhaps not a pizza wine.

Dark black fruit, cigar, strong spice and pyrazine. Well-structured texture with mid-acidity. Well made but a bit disappointing compared to 2018, as it loses fruity nose quite soon and gets strong alcohol taste. Moreover, that pyrazine doesn’t seemed to be well-controlled.

Elegant and fruity featuring blackberry, cigar box and plum. Nicely balanced reuniting fine grained tannins, medium acidity keeping in check the 14.3% abv. NI:4, FI:23, FC:8, B:4, L:4

Lovely, with notes of black cherry, dark chocolate, and baking spice coalescing throughout. Polished tannins and the satiny mouthfeel linger on the medium-long finish.

Exceeds expectation. Notes later, from subsequent bottles.
