Enjoyable but it has slipped past its prime. The fruit is still there (berries) but the tannins have mellowed so much, the wine was falling somewhat flat.

Gorgeous wine. It opens to a deep, penetrating, leathery bouquet of cherries, cassis, and red currants atop foresty earth, pencil shavings, petrichor, and smoke. The palate is plush, vinous, and elegant, with serious structure and a dry yet juicy tension that frames a beautiful harmony between fruit and umami elements. Brambly spice and youthful tannin grip the long and savory finish. Outstanding, Old World wine with the bones to last. 93+

This has changed since our last bottle. Has a woodsy/smoky thing going on in the background. Still a nice blend, but it seems to be heading toward an end point.

Plum and Black fruits and integrated, smooth tannin. Long on aftertaste with slight cocoa and vanilla. Slight smokey also on aftertaste. Execllent wine

Leathery nose, dry and fruity palate – red and black berries with a touch of sweetness into the finish.
