  This wine is gorgeous. We were worried bc the cork practically disintegrated beneath the wax seal. It was very difficult to get the cork out and we had to strain it before decanting. However, it was worth cellaring for a decade. The wine is light but complex, with a floral nose, bright cherry notes, and fine tannins. Open the bottle, pray you don’t have a crumbly cork, but then linger and enjoy!

  Splash decant then back in the bottle for two hours before serving. Elegant but with prototypical earthy notes on the finish. Crowd favorite.

  Popped and poured. Tracked development in the glass.
  
  Ruby red on the lighter side of medium.
  
  Moss and baking spice on the nose. Some red fruit. Good intensity.
  
  More red fruit on the palate, of a stewed character, but still rather juicy and scrumptious thanks to bright acid. Good concentration. Moss, savory herbs, baking spice. Some bittersweet toffee in the back. Tannins integrated but not fully. Long finish.
  
  Great wine, good concentration and lovely acid. I love swirling it in my mouth. It’s missing something though—it’s not a haunting wine and it never will be.
  
  Looking back, I would slow-ox this for two hours.

  Has improved quite a bit from when I had this three or four years ago. Medium bodied, rich red fruit flavors along with a bit of blueberry. Had with filet mignon and was a great match.
