Saturday, July 21, 2018 - An attractive, almost opaque, dark magenta in color, lightening at the edge. Very pretty and powerful aromas of sweet baking spices, vanilla and crushed dark fruits on the nose. Full-bodied, yet elegant in weight and texture. There’s wonderful depth to the tangy blackberry and plum fruit here. Displays an almost piercing intensity on the front-palate with a lively acidity. The finish is long and quite tannic, featuring prominent notes of earth and spice. Very Bordeaux-like and quite impressive - especially for a second wine. Still a bit tight and tannic, this is just at the very beginning of its drinking window and has a long life ahead of it. Looking forward to trying this over-achiever again a couple of years from now.
