Thursday, November 9, 2023 - Opened and poured a glass about two hours prior to consumption. Opaque and dense color with no bricking. Aromatically pleasing with a rich red currant, damp earth and brush, and orange rind that are primary with more subtle incense, leather, and dried herbs. On the palate the attack presents cashmere tannins with tart red currant and orange peel being supported by good acidic lift. In the mid-palate this pivots to a pasty tart blackberry with a deft touch of iron and tobacco leaf. The finish was a little hollow with a trace of heat that shaved the overall pleasure ever so slightly.

Overall a quality wine with a well rounded appeal that can be consumed now through 2030+.

Day 2 - Remains well rounded where the cashmere tannins balance the sweet fruit. It retains a vibrancy that keeps this fresh and rich.
