Red in the bowl and orange/brown on the edge. Black cherries, raspberries in the nose with hints of floral and minerals. Black raspberries and black cherries in the flavor with spice notes. Well structured, medium bodied and a medium to long finish. 91/92

Very fresh still, but a little mellow, well-integrated, tons of ripe raspberry/cherry cough syrupy notes going on and an underlying subtle minerality. Excellent spine, med long finish. Really tasty, indicative of this ear, very fruit forward, but pure, delicious red berry fruit. Easily has another 5 years+ in this but very nice to have it near its peak. Monopole

Last bottle. This was very good. Not showing any signs of deteriorating whatsoever. In fact it was hard to detect the telltale indicators of ageing! Deep garner through and through. Nose was highly aromatic of flowers, red fruit, and warm spice. On the palate, dark cherries, cola, raw beef, and just a hint of Smokey spice. Had at dinner out paired with a burger, a steak, braised short ribs and calves liver. Wine complimented all entrées and was enjoyed by all. Sad to see it go but it was quite nice.

PnP; consumed over 3 nights. Good spice notes but too much sun for my taste. 14%
