October 9, 2023 - Solid and beautiful. A bit of sediment but no interference with the tastiness. Better on the tongue than the nose. Plenty of fruit, but not heavy or super tannic. A lovely bottle and I agree with the comment with or without food.

September 27, 2023 - Extraordinary. Delicious. With or without food.
Lots of dark fruit, very light tannins, and a wonderfully long finish. -

April 19, 2022 - Splash decanted for 45 minutes and drank over the next hour. Spectacular throughput. Morphed over the entire time. Medium density ruby red. Medium body. Long, long finish. Mainly red fruit with hints of blue; but they blend so well you can’t pick them out. Excellent spice. Best thing. I have a magnum in the cellar.
