Decanted & enjoyed over 3 hours. Dark cherry, berry & spice flavors. Good balance/acidity. Not showing much signs of age. One bottle remains in cellar - going to hold this until 2024 for the final encounter.

Natural cork with no signs of leakage. Deep ruby red, with notes of ripe cherry and red fruit, spices, cigar box and licorice. This is fruity in mouth, tanninous, with medium to low acidity and a long finish. 15% alcohol and fine sediments. Very good. Drink or hold.

Purchased in 2012 after tasting at the vineyard. First tasting since 2012 purchase, a few years of cellaring have helped this wine mature very well. Consumed after a brief decant. Dark fruit aromas on the nose. Dark cherries on the palate. Extremely smooth, with a medium to long finish. Three bottles remain in my cellar - that's good..

Similar to last encounter a few years ago, some of the edge has faded making this showing a more silky, pleasurable experience.
