Sunday, May 26, 2019 - From 375mL with my lunch burger and sipping a bit after. Agree this is very approachable right now. Aromas of dark and dark red fruits, fennel, licorice, walnut, and graphite. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, with flavors of dark and dark red fruits, dark chocolate, and minerals. There's a light grip to it, but nothing in the way of enjoyment. The burger pairing was pretty good, and I'd say grilled meats in general would the play here. Agree with a previous comment in that this doesn't seem built for the long haul, but it could surprise with mid (+) term longevity. At any rate, no harm in popping these at any point now. Cheers.
