Bright ruby with garnet hues in glass. Red cherry, cranberries and garrigue. Alcohol dominated both the nose and palate upon opening. Medium, medium - acidity. Tannins still needed time. Somewhat off balance. 90 points on day 1. Bumped it up by a point on night two. Much more approachable. Food didn’t hurt either.

We liked this quite a bit. Complex with red fruit, mild tannins (2015 bottle in 2021), cherry cola, bit of leather and tobacco, bit of baking spice - my better half remembers molasses cookies.

Cherries, dark fruit and blue berries with hint of earth and lead pencil. Bold fruit up front with delicate mid palate. Drinking nicely in 2023.

This was slightly fuller bodied than when we drank it a year or so ago. Tonight we paired it with swordfish and caponata relish. Delish! Decant!
