This singing right now. Glorious dark fruit, concentrated blackcurrant at the core. With depth and impressive length. Intense but balanced. Drink now or hold - many years to go on this one.

Far better on day two. This put on a lot of weight and depth and fruit in 24 hours of time corked in the fridge. Day one, this didn’t share much fruit- perhaps needed more time to open. Remember that for next time!

This opens with oodles of fresh blackcurrant, backed by creme de cassis and black raspberry. A tinge of earth follows to a definite and prolonged note of cocoa. The tannins have faded somewhat more than you might expect, leaving a relaxed but not sleepy wine. Drinking very well now.

Opens up quickly revealing cassis aroma and some spice... Flavor jams right from the start with blackberry, licorice, spice, and sturdy tannins that just remain in check.. Flavor envelopes the tongue as it finishes with blackberry and cocoa... Quite a nice wine ...probably could use 2 years in bottle...

Showing nicely, I sampled this at a local event. Cassis aromas and flavors. Balanced, smooth, finish is dry and long. Good heft.
