Dark center, red rim with very modest signs of age. Nose is more damsons and black raspberries, rosemary and a touch of wet dog, caramel. Smooth and slightly floral up front, then black plums, good acidity and tannin still, some oak, very sightly green on the finish. Well made Bordeaux blend (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon mainly). Alcohol seems higher than the stated 13.9%. Drinking well now with food, but might be better in a couple of years.

Singing and silky smooth, great balance of currant and dark cherry-berries, w/chocolate mocha and slight hint of mint on finish. 93-95+ potential, hope I can wait 2 -4 years for the next one as it has entered a great window with likely upside.
PnP and it took 15-20 minutes or so in the glass to open up. Still drinking very well and plenty of structure for at least several more years. I believe it is starting to enter peak. Lovely wine.

Drinking well. Very Bordeaux-like. Great combination of berry fruit and supporting tannins.
