I have been drinking this wine every 6 months or so since 2021.
This bottle hit the mark. Well balanced in all aspects. Fruit is refined and plays against earthy tobacco and leather undertones in the aroma. Black fruit dominates
the palate at first, but yields to tannins and acidity in the finish.
Decanted for about an hour, but it continued to improve over the course of our evening. Had it with our monthly short rib ragu over fresh pasta. Thinking it will continue to shine for 4-5 years.

Unbelievable for $12/bottle. Very complex representation of fruit, spices, earth, and tannins. Soft but expressive in the mouth. Way beyond expectations.

An awesome bottle. Have been anxious to try this one for a couple of months. Will benefit from additional time, but it’s a pleasurable monster right now. Nose was subdued but floated a dusty fruit. Mouth was balanced with nice blue-black fruit, some acid and finishing with fairly aggressive tannins. 3 hour decant, and drank mostly by itself. This will be an exceptional wine in a few years.
