On the pop, whacks you with oak. It’s all that is left. Totally hollow and one glass out before recorking was too much for this that any remaining elements tired out readily. Drink if you got em, but overly oaked

Ruby just starting to turn crimson, subtle but confident nose of red and black currant, vanilla and grilled meats with undertones of forest floor and mocha, strong ham hock on the palate with firm but well rounded tannins and ripe dark fruit, finish continues with meaty flavors, dusty red and dark fruit, mineral notes and much more - plenty of life ahead but tasting real nice tonight

Really lovely style, though still tight and could use time. Enjoyed over the course of one night and those beautiful notes I so enjoy about a nicely done Cote-Rotie (think: sage and violets) just started to sing in the last half of the last glass. Made me wish there was more. But alas...
Drink and decant or hold.

Garnet, opened up quite swiftly. The wine feels a little tired at the last sip. Drink sooner rather than later
