Thursday, September 22, 2022 - It's been seven years since our previous bottle, and the good news is that it's approachable now with a modest decant (one hour before service, in this case). The good or bad news, depending on your preferences, is that it is still closer to a barrel sample than an aged wine - raspberry, grenache liqueur, and a bit of barnyard are all present, with a deep, saturated magenta/black color that shows no sign of age, and still plenty of unresolved tannins on the long finish. If you have just one bottle, no harm in waiting another 5-7 years, at least.
