Holding up strong but go ahead and drink if you have it. Beautiful and strong nose, red fruit flavors. Tannins and acids are on the light side at this point, though I didn’t taste this in its youth. A total steal for the $40 I tracked it down at.

Pop and pour. Tasted over the course of three days, with refrigeration during the 'down times.' Dark purple color. Nose offers a bit of cough syrup and camphor upon opening. With some time, that blows off. Dark cherries and some spice notes, with a lovely violet/lavender element. Flavors lean towards dark fruits - black plums and cherries, with a nice touch of savory dried black olives, spice and black pepper notes, The fruit is clean (no funky manure notes) and there is a nice spine of acidity that gives this vibrancy. Delicious.
