A bit of bricking around the rim, dark muted purple, dense nose, mulberry, leather. Palate is red cherry, herb, grippy tannin but subdued, low structure, pleasant, ready to go. Drink now, seems like starting to fade and will not improve.

Wild! This bottle is much younger tasting than recent bottles. Shows some smoothness of age but still carries a youthful vibrancy. This specific bottle has definitely not peaked. Not sure what that is about. All bottles have had consistent storage. In any event, it remains quite appealing.

First bottle was tainted but thankfully this one was clean. Has depth but relatively fresh frame. Traditional mocha, cocoa, blackcurrant and a sort of green pepper element mixed in. Just a lick of freshness and uplift on the finsih and something on entry. Menthol and good acidity.
A well made solid wine. BBQ and cheese obvious options.

Consumed over several days, little evolution over time. This is showing great, clean nose, smooth tannins, fresh and easy to drink.
