  Confused by everyone else’s notes. NOT ready to drink, 2 hours in. Still massive tannins. YMMV, of course. Mine did!

  Classic IGT composure, good structured red fruit with notes of dry earth, violets, leather. Medium+ acid, tannin smoothing and integrating but still providing back bone and austerity. Wine has further life.

  This was excellent. Not decanted, just popped and poured. This was absolutely singing right from from the go. Nose is not the strong point, a little muted but not bad, palate is bright fresh and full of currant and plum fruit. Really juicy and delicious with a really long aftertaste. This went great with a grilled steak. Super impressed with this wine for its balance and grace along with some nice concentration.

  Consumed over 2 days (stored in Somm du Vin), note from day 2. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, bell pepper, sweet tobacco and violet. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid and tannin, medium+ body, medium intensity, 14.5% abv with flavors of tart dark fruit - black raspberry and black cherry, black olive, and bell pepper with a medium+ finish. Showing excellent complexity, intensity, and length but a bit out of balance - lacking enough fruit to balance the high acid and tannin. This was drinking better on day 1 meaning this is likely not improving with age at this point. Drink now or over next 1-2 years.
