  Surprisingly youthful and fresh, if a little disjointed on opening. 2h later, the fruit had filled out in the mid palate and early tertiary cedar notes were present on the finish.
  
  Overall old world sensibility and classic. Excellent pairing with strong flavors of grilled beef and salt stone veggies.
  
  Second of 3. First was too young (2017). I doubt I'll roll the dice on the last making old bones. No rush, expect it will drink at this level for 3-5 years.

  Delicious wine. Concentrated dark fruits balanced with cedar wood and dark chocolate undertones. Drinks like good Margaux. Tannins well integrated. Enough acidity to pair well with lots of dishes (had grilled chicken tonight). Maybe this could age longer but it’s drinking perfectly right now.

  Dark crimson/purple in the glass. Nose showed dark blue/black fruit, anise and scorched earth. This continued on the palate in a rich mouth coating manner. Finished long with noticeable but silky tannin. Twelve years in this still seems fresh and young. Will see if I can hold my last bottle another 6 years.

  Strong nose of blackberry and anise, continues in the mouth. Full bodied, rich wine at its prime.
