Very deep, dark cherry in color. Dried cherry and a hint of mineral. Not all that complex at this late stage. Enjoyed it and glad that I have a couple of more bottles to pour later in the year.

Very dark, opaque wine. Nose is overwhelmingly oaky. Unfortunately the palate is also very oaky, making it hard to discern any of the brambly fruit underneath. When I last had it 3 years ago, it was much more together. I caught it in a bad phase. In retrospect, it would have been better to have left it sleeping until 2020 or so and see what might have become of it. Good.
