Cassis and dark fruits (black cherry cola), great minerality and porcelain tannin on the finish. A smidge of raisin in there suggesting it’s aging may give me too much raisinet in the future. A good wine - unsure if we’re at peak or past.

Deep and dark and rich and complex. Nose has plum, licorice, spice, tobacco ash, and white pepper. Mouthcoating wine has earthiness, medium acidity, and rustic tannins. Add leather, black olives, savory herbs, espresso, and a gorgeously expressed baking chocolate and the wine rises to the level of an occasion wine. Drink it with dishes with rosemary, capers, and black olives. Excellent!

An unusual wine, hard to pin down. Something funky at first, which gradually faded. Crunchy red berries, cranberry, cherry and some hard to identify flavor, with cutting acidity and some oak on the tail. Firm and energetic overall. The second night, the fruit flavors darkened and sweetened, while retaining the acidity and that odd funky flavor. An interesting wine, definitely off the beaten track.

On the nose ripe dark fruit, vanilla, spices, cured meat, tobacco. On the palate quite powerful and grippy. The tannins are ripe and round but very present and a little drying and coarse towards the finish. Long and quite persistent. Drink or keep. 91-93

Deep and rich but a bit heavy in the middle.
