Saturday, February 25, 2023 - inky deep red color, dark rich plums on the nose, oak a bit raw, showing a little heat, on the palate a grand and sexy cherry and plum fruit, supple tannins, deep and broad palate, exellent length, a touch warm on the tail end but not to the extent suggested by the nose, oak better absorbed on the palate than I often find at this address, viscous and thick, raspberry cream note with time, as modern as it gets but enjoyable and distinctive, as well as lacking the degree of excess I find in some of the other wines.
****+, ready to go but with time in hand
