Drank with John and Tiffany to celebrate John's 40th birthday. So much improved from 5 years ago! The blackberry catches you first, followed by anise and spice. Still grippy with integrated tannins. This still has a good few years left at peak! Perfect for a cool night sunset cruise on the lake.
Une dernière bouteille... Magnifique nez de fruits noirs...cerise noir et cassis, de taillures de crayon, d'épices, de notes de chocolat et de vanille. Les tannins sont poussiéreux. Un vin fruité...saveur de cerise noir...charnu, riche et corsé...et complexe. Longue finale chaude avec un soupçon de poivre blanc. Délicieux !

Opened, decanted, and drank over four hours. Ruddy brownish burgundy in color Sweet tobacco, plums, vanilla, oak, black tea. Amaze! Full bodied. The sweet dark fruit characteristics carry through. Long finish. Taste largely follows the nose. Very nice wine. Fair QPR.

Amazing wine that’s drinking perfectly right now. I’m thinking open another closer to the end of the year and save the others for 2021. Dark fruit (not overly fruity) rich dark color smooth tannins. Was perfect from start to finish, great dinner wine.
