December 10, 2020 - PnP. Dark red in the glass with dark red rim. Nose of dark red sweet fruit, crushed herbs, soy sauce (?).
On the palate, similar to nose with sweet dark red fruit, savory herbs, silky mouth feel. Long finish of tart fruit, bit of acidity and soft tannins.
After 30 min, nose showed hints of BBQ sauce, palate showed something like peppercorn steak, more prominent tannins.
Over more time became more brooding, hint of barnyard, forest floor, funk.
Overall an elegant, luxurious, and plain wonderful wine.1,516 views
