This did not pack the punch I expected. It might be in a closed-down phase of its evolution. The best I can say at this point is wait and see if things change. At this point, it is a bit flat without a lot of complexity.

This clear and deep purple in colour wine was drank at home with the Coravin. Tons of ripe cherries on the nose mixed with Black pepper. In the glass were those same cherries mixed with ground spices and pepper. There was also a noticeable amount of oak flavours. The tannins were at a mid level while the acidity was quite strong. You may want to filter this wine due to the amount of sediment.

This was not one of the best that I've come to expect from this producer. It was nice, but had some strange vegetable green notes, which distracted from the rest of the fruit. Maybe it was too young, but it was a bit funky. Neverthless, it was fun to serve at my wife's birthday party in the wine room at the Edison House followed by karaoke upstairs.

Drank after 45 minutes of decanting. This wine was clear and very dark inky purple in colour. The nose was of black currant. When first tasting right out of the bottle, there was a sour aftertaste to the wine. This completely went away after 45 minutes of decanting so I would suggest at least an hour or two at a minimum to enjoy this wine to it's fullest. Flavours of black currant nixed with some white pepper notes. Strong tannins and acidity and this was a slightly hot wine as expected when it has 15.8% alcohol.
