A bottle from the recent library release. Opened in the morning and recorked; poured ~10 hours later. This improved with time open. Bit of cool greenness on the nose that adds interest. Black cherry and coffee. Drank alongside the 2019 and while there was a clear lineage between the wines, this was much more savory and resolved. In a good spot to drink now.

From the recent library release. This bottle was definitely alive, and improved with air. It had a quality of slightly underripe plum on the palate -- skin-y with a punch of acid -- which paired well with food. There are certainly some tertiary elements, but they add balance and have not yet overwhelmed the fresh fruit in this bottle.

Not much of a nose to it. Strong acidity, black cherry in background but lacking overall fruit. Unfocused without the layers and balance that one would hope for in this wine. Finish was acidic and unimpressive. I would try this again in 5 years if someone offered me a pour, but wonder where the velvety tannins are from others reviews... -Cincinnati, Ohio 4-13-20.

Deep ruby red. A bit of damp earth on the nose with some perfumed herbs and black currants. Medium acidity (6/10) with a medium body. Rounded palate with earthiness, red currants, cherries and a bit of clay. Long finish. Drink till 2030.
