March 19, 2021 - Tannins are soft. Lovely violet essence with balanced berry notes and soft finish.

December 26, 2020 - Very deep purple. Nose of pronounced intensity with aromas prunes, tar, cured meat, raisins, bitter chocolate. Fully developed wine. Palate: dry, medium plus acidity, smooth s as and silky tannins, high alcohol, very pleasant mouthfeel, full body. Pleasant and pronounced flavors of leather, prunes, dried blackberries, chocolate. Finish is medium. Very good wine, perfectly aged now. Can be aged further but this is my last bottle
