Our prior bottle in 2018 was wonderful, but this one was getting pruney and finished hot. Could be bottle variation, but I'd say drink 'em if you got 'em.

Wow, really impressive. Ripe yet balanced with pretty red plums, green pepper, black spices, and mint. Smooth and dense, yet nice structure and dear I say some elegance? No rush to drink up sadly.

Slow oxed for 8 hours before pouring. Generous nose of dark sweet fruits. This is a rich and powerful wine, but the tannins are very evolved and it’s also surprisingly soft and lush. Delicious and without apparent heat despite the 16.1%. Lots of sediment.

Huge monster wine that roamed all over the place as it sat open for hours. We poured into glasses and labeled them over time. The wine at 4 hours was in a good spot. On opening it, the wine was to much for the group to take, and we waited until hour 4 to start consuming it. Double decanted as well. This is a thick, juicy wine. Good for a spicy steak, BBQ ribs with a kick. Maybe blue cheese on spicy salami. Uber your way home after having this wine.

Huge fruit bomb, a bit over the top but still somewhat sophisticated. Very rich, lots of sweet dark fruit. Very good, but perhaps a bit polarizing.
