June 29, 2020 - I finished my last bottle of this in the Fall of 2019, so I was thrilled to see it appear again from Brig's cellar to be enjoyed. This is petite for sure, inky with blueberry goodness, along with stone fruit pit, fresh leather and a touch of heat. Finishes with a charcoal note and a push of concentrated blue fruit. Have another glass left for tonight so we'll give it another go with a clean palate and a full day of air that has seen.....retasting without food, from the bottle that is sitting out on the counter from last night simply closed with cork, at 71f. Remains inky in color, a maroon/black. This amount of air it has seen has softened it up substantially, rendering the wine ready to drink--smooth, flushes my palate with dark fruit. The fruit seems a bit blacker too, more blackberry than the blue tones from yesterday. The charcoal remains in the finish, with an addition of dark chocolate. Overall, this is very good, dark and intense enough to be petite but not so much that it's overpowering as petite can be. Terrific.
