January 26, 2024 - Deep purple red color. Blackberries, blueberries, chocolate, and licorice in the nose. Rich, concentrated fruit in the flavor, blackberries, black cherries and mineral notes. A big wine with nice depth and structure, full bodied, well balanced and a long finish. Slightly higher score than previous bottle opened four years ago.
