Sunday, December 17, 2023 - Ripe black currants, ripe black cherries, curry spice, garrigue, leather, rubber and motor oil on the nose. Intensitry of aromas is medium +. The palate shows mostly the ripe dark fruits. Not a ton of the non-fruit things from the nose. Hoping they show on the palate with more bottle age. Intensity of flavors is medium +.
Full bodied with medium acid and strong high tannins. Developing. Recommend holding this for another 2-3 years. It should simultaneously mellow out and gain complexity.
