Last of 4 bottles, consumed at the beach in a lineup of pretty wines. Beautiful structure, with nice and grippy, finely grained tannins and ample acidity. Notes of tobacco leaf, sour, sour cherry, tar, and mint. Drink through 2025+.

Nose: initially, muted & lots of tar. 1.5hr in - more red fruit, potpourri, dried herbs, tar, used black tea bags & fragrant sage.
Palate: needs more acidity, gritty tannins which coated my mouth & teeth. I thought this was declining at first but now its evolving & drinking much better.
Verdict: decant this for at least 1.5 hr before approaching it

Deep ruby color. Nose of smoky garam masala and red cherry. Very dry on the palate with lots of fine tannins on the finish.
