Little bit of VA when you first open the bottle so make sure to let it blow off before tasting
The wine opens up into rich complex aromas of cherry, raspberry, milk chocolate, dried herbs, a hint of menthol, and cassis. Nice ripe flavors, no steminess. Developing nicely and will continue to age well. For my palate, this is the perfect time to drink this wine
Tannins are strong and fuzzy, but not grippy or velvety. The wine has a full body and medium high acidity making for a beautiful balanced final product

So worth the price. This wine is drinking great now, but will develop beautifully over the next 10 years
Fragrant and youthful, with bright blackberry, plum, cassis, vanilla, and a slightly minty herbal note. The figginess of age is just barely starting to slip in, while the primary fruit dances richly on the nose and palate.
Dry, medium+ acidity, full body, and delightfully velvety tannins.

Lusciously sweet with perfectly balanced acidity and full body. A finish that lasts for days. Drink now, or age for another 10 years
