  A little muted but very gamey overall.

  Russk. Not compelling, but got better over time.

  5/7/2019 - Lash LaRue Likes this wine:

  Appearance: clear, medium ruby.
  
  Nose: clean, pronounced aromas of dark fruit: blackberry, plum. Hints of fig, liquorice. Powerful!
  
  Palate: wine is dry. Med (+) acidity. Med (-) tannin, fine-grained. Med alcohol. Med (-) body. Med (+) intensity flavors of dark fruit: blackberry with secondary hints of raisin, crunchy grape seed pith. Finish is unexpectedly abrupt - flavors die away quickly and leave me thirsty for another gulp...
  
  Conclusion: Wine is very good. This is a very ripe, light-bodied Bourgueil (almost stylistically out of place insofar as how the primary fruit flavors are driving the bus), which should still be pleasurable for another 1 - 3 years before the lovely primary fruit characteristics die away and leave behind something akin to flat coca-cola or cooking wine. Drink right now, straight-away, immediately, this very instant (preferably with a prime rib bistro sandwich with au jus)!!
