Dark ruby color. Dark and savory aromas - braised fig & date, sandalwood, wet forest & mushroom, paprika spice, fresh thyme and juniper. Broad and rich on the attack, with brightness to the fruit and a melange of woodsy earth & mineral, root spices, tea leaf and hints of cedar to the depth. Densely textured middle, with roundly integrated acid and tannins, and flavors that breathe through the finish. Excellent. Needs a decant. Drink/hold.

Brilliant medium garnet color, with mild aromas of cedar box and spice. Medium bodied flavors of black cherry, blackberry, a little sour cherry cola. Nice acidity, and still some good softening tannin. Really nice wine, on the savory side for the vintage, but a really good wine for richer food darker fowl meat, rabbit, etc.

From (last) magnum. May 2019 notes apply, but a lighter-bodied impression tonight. Drink and enjoy these in any format.
