  December 10, 2022 - Huge and ripe, dark purple near black. Decanted for half hour before pouring highly recommended , wine continues to bloom after 2 hours in the glass., showing more floral and ferrous notes . High alcohol is well carried, but for the bit of heat on the finish. Elegant , but still Too rich for a lightly seasoned steak tartare, but perfect with braised lamb neck and root veggies at Charleston. This presents as ripe, but not stewed, well structured with mostly integrated tannins, and peak now, with ten years of stability. What did it miss? Maybe just a hint of exotica, the sauvage and gamey blood and liquid rock found in less hot vintages here, where acidity is more available to harmonize with the intense ripe fruit.
