Performances from the Summer of 2016: Love that I held onto this so long. Sampled it first many years ago with the vintner at a retail tasting, with aging the recommened course – glad I listened. Pure and expressive still, with characteristics of plum, mocha, cedary oak.

Opaque, plum color. Lovely aroma of cassis, leather, black fruits on nose. On palate, integrated tannins with ripe plum, cassis and a bit of smoke. Finish lasts a long time. Lovely wine.

S&E Wine Club - USA Night (At Home in the Cave): Full MOT scoring. This wine needed decanting - it had no decanting tonight - (I tasted some a day later and it had improved). This is still youthful despite its age with strong acid and tannin 7/10. Light cassis in the nose.
