Sunday, October 13, 2019 - Decanted for two hours before pairing with grilled lamb chops. Deep ruby colouring with a bold nose of cassis, plum, smoke, leather, and a bit of cedar. Sharp in acidity and full of gripping tannins, the wine presents a full body of ripe dark fruit, mature oak, and smoky, leather, and coffee / dark chocolate flavours. A great wine with an impacting finish of olive, leather, and coffee flavours. Could age for many more years but I got impatient. Paired immaculately with the lamb as well. I have another bottle waiting for 2023-2024 drinking in the cellar, excited to see what happens.
