Highly variable scores from the community and I can see why. It’s kinda fruit forward but herbaceous with pencil shavings and dried raisins behind it. I’d say it’s just beyond the drinking window so drink it if you got it as it’s getting flabby and the tannins are losing their grip. This pairs well with a flavorful cheese, burger and fries. We had it with fish and steamed veggies and it needed more fat on the tongue to round out the juiciness. Overall, I’m glad I drank this now and it was just ok. Not terrible and not stunning.

I really liked the last bottle and this one has clearly matured but I just like it a little less. The most is anise with maybe a hint of cardamom (floral spice). I had a hint of wet cardboard. Smooth and fully incorporated flavors and complex enough that it’s hard for me to pull out anything specific. I want to say spiced plums. It had a mature ruby color with a hint of brown. I feel like the structure is starting to wane so I’ll probably look to drink my last bottle in the next 12 months.
My wife said it tasted fancy so maybe more seasoned wine aficionados will appreciate this wine more than I.
