Medium garnet. Giving up secondary and tertiary notes of red and blue fruit, tobacco and earth. Medium-bodied palate with a modest slightly drying finish. Better on the nose than the palate and enjoyment was elevated when paired with food. Bottles should be consumed soon.

Penultimate bottle of 10 purchased en premier. Same comments as my review on 3/7/22. But, it is just so delicious tonight that I'm upping my score a point

Clean and refreshing. Currants, pluns and blackberries give way leather and leaves in a long slow finish.

Three hours in the decanter, and this beauty just sings. Earthy plum, cherry pits, cedar, blood orange, and milk chocolate. Lengthy finish.
