Beautiful cherry notes with a little sour Brett aroma in the background and some red licorice. Has great acid and tannin with long dry finish. A little austere at this time but I like it! Wish I had a dozen more to drink :(
Will probably wait 3-5 years to drink the last one.

Nice spice notes, rustic wood notes almost mahogany like, plums with brown sugar on top, slight browning but still plenty life ahead, really juicy with nice soft tannins and good acidity, was rough upon opening but singing now an hour later.. Wish I had purchased the others on winebid :(

Gushing with upfront strawberry, sweet cherry, herbs, and some mocha. Beautiful aromatics!! Would guess spanish grenache if smelled blind.. Very mouthfilling with tannins that creep up on you.. Its full of ripe fruit but not gushy with enough acidity to balance it all out.. First time with this producer so no thoughts on whether this is a new style vs traditional for them, doesnt matter.. I like it ☺️ Def a good balance for me between wayyyyy traditional bordeaux and ripe as shit bordeaux..
