In a great spot right now. Tannins have softened, very smooth. Blueberry the dominant fruit. A flavor splash on the lips and some cocoa on the swallow. Wish I had more.

2nd day notes. Big nose of blackberries and smoke and a touch of soy (hate soy in wines). Taste is similar but with more ash and some bitterness. Full bodied and nice balance of acidity snd tannins but taste just isn’t up to par with other vintages or my previous tasting of this one. Maybe in an odd spot age wise? About 91 this time

2nd day notes; deep opaque purple. Nose of raisons, black cherry and notes of cedar, anise and blueberry. Taste is similar with a definite fruit forward punch but with lively acidity that keeps it in place. Tannins are low to moderate - enough to finish dry. Has an ever so slight alcohol bite but I suspect that will subside with more cellar time. Medium plus body. About 92-93 points.

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.
