  Popped and poured, then consumed over the next hour or so.
  Gorgeous deep magenta color; the nose is closed initially.
  On the palate, the wine is lush and expressive. The tannins are soft and velvety, and the acid levels are moderate. Lots of layered plum, black cherry and raspberry fruit in an easy-to-like style.
  It’s drinking beautifully right now, and should improve for another five years or so. Well done!

  A very interesting wine. Deep dark full body 13.5%) with a nice nose. "Velvet round" toasted plum and black cherry fruit that fill the mouth. Super long finish. This is going to be a super wine in 4 to 5 years.

  Tasted at the winery. Aromas of black tea, fig, wild berries, clove, fennel, dried florals and limestone. Rich on the palate, with round and expressive fruit with seamless secondary depth, exquisitely balanced. Mouth-filling, wide and broad, with great acid integration and very fine tannin and full length.
