90 Points

Thursday, November 23, 2023 - 85% Merlot
15% Cab Franc
Nose Unresolved Oak, blackberry, black Plum, Lift, black potting soil, hints of fresh rolled asphalt, Soy Sauce. Alcohol 15% is a bit distracting, Full bodied, Extract, tart acidity, touch bitter cocoa, mouth puckering
Day 2, Walnut shells and more cocao on nose, Palate more forward friendly fruit and calmer Acidity. Today Monolithic harder to judge.
Day 3, lemony acidity, more austere with stronger palate cocoa and black licorice.
Well made and while I can appreciate what’s in the bottle the style is not for me. This leans more tertiary with acidity a tune to citrus then bush fruits. Perhaps some time in the bottle will bring the chocolate plums forth. Purchased from retail store and enjoyed 60-70 degrees… Na zdrowie
