June 28, 2018 - Clear, deep ruby
Clean, medium intensity. Violets, cassis, blackberry, black plum, olives, bay leaf.
Medium body, filled out with some time in the decanter.
Fine, dusty, persistent tannins.
Judicious use of oak, structured but certainly not overdone, elegant.
A lovely blend, just starting to develop some complexity.
Time will be kind, hold.
