December 28, 2017 - Removed the capsule to find dried wine and past seepage. Expecting a cork fail but didn't happen, the long cork came out intact, and a thin line traced along the edge showed the failure. Fortunately, there was no spoilage to the wine. Full bodied, deep ruby to thinning red on the rim. Copious notes of vanilla, florals, licorice, secondaries like wet earth, forest floor, raspberry, cherry....a little reticent on the nose but swirling reveals a real cornucopia. On the palate a very well balanced blend of sweet blacks and reds, with secondaries, and solid acidity to keep it lively and real. Exceptional even.

In the mouth, balanced and still youthful, with strong fruit up front, good complexity, and a strong finish. This has plenty of life left. A-
