I often find that buying the second, or in this case, third, wine of the great wineries offers great value and insight into tremendous winemaking. Certainly at under $40 this is great bang for the buck.
There is nothing subtle about this wine. Even so young aromas of cassis, graphite and rich black plum jump from the glass.
I struggle with the 15% alcohol which is quite hot and very present on the palate. Better in time no doubt.
Flavours of vanilla and dark chocolate covered raspberry.
Long finish. Drink from 2024.

This wine has gotten better every time I’ve had it. Seems to have just enough fruit to balance out the tannins. Very enjoyable.

I’m liking this a little more than last time. It’s got some nice acidity with some fruit.

Has already developed some more complexity since the year began.
