The bottle had a bit of a cork taste and a bit too dominant alcohol - this vintage has 15%. So it kight be good to cool it a little in advance anyway. I think (hope) it was just this bottle that was a bit flawed... I will try another one soon.

A little brooding upon opening but slowly showed deep forest floor hints along with licorice, blackberry and dark plum notes. The wine was velvety with low acidity and well integrated alcohol. Devant an hour and serve with a hearty meat dish. Medium long finish. Starting its drinking window now and for the next 3-5 years.

Dark red with a purple center; rich dark fruit/cherries, herbs, lavender, leather/tobacco....very smooth, easy drinking, soft, full bodied, clean; nice long dry finish.

Fully mature, with rich red fruit and sweet spice. Full bodied, but not overly sappy or cumbersome.
