  VG to Outstanding.
  
  Deep inky purple. Super ripe/overripe nose of blueberries/ blackberries.
  
  Dry, high alcohol, med+ acid, full body. med+ finish.
  Highly intense palate of blueberries, blackberries, black currant and a hint of black pepper.
  
  Extracted and concentrated but not over the top. still balanced. Great mouthfeel, sensuous and hedonistic. Perhaps not a lot of varietal character. Would buy more.

  taste: acidic and tasty! great body, more dark fruit, like blackberry and blueberry.
  
  paired really well with a well spiced roast chicken!

  91-93:
  
  I should have decanted this bottle, or at least given the wine more air, but honestly it was "delicious enough" and I swirled a lot. There's a lovely Blueberry streak from the nose to the finish. It's not sweet or overripe, though, it's balanced and more Old World in sentiment. I'm going to let my other bottles sit another year or so. Thick fruit tannins need to mellow.
  
  QPR 7 (of 10)
  
  Aging 2028 at least
