August 23, 2019 - A little jammy but opens up with a nice balance of acidity and tannin. Should cellar

August 2, 2019 - At first I smell yeast.
Then alcohol and oak.
A boutique producer using vines planted back in 1880 and only 32 acres or was that hectares ?
Well balanced medium to dark colour.
medium fruit, soft tannins little acid if any.
Drinking well now and will perhaps survive another 2 years . -
