Fruity meets dirty earthy with this nice complex concentrated wine. Enjoyable now it can age further. It will develop more complexity with time at least over the next few years. Enjoy now until 2031, possibly sooner

Another great showing as this wine transitions from the primary fruity stage to the more secondary earthy stage with more secondary flavors. Dark color concentrated, lots of sweet ripe briary fruit with earthy notes. Loads of fruit and tannins make this one enjoyable now but still ageworthy. Drink now to 2028. Great qpr. Special note. This is the only vintage of this wine that I have That the sediment forms a thick mud like layer on the bottom of the cork.One must be careful pulling the cork out because if you do too quickly. It will splatter all over you and stain your clothes. Once the cork is out be careful not to touch it or where you put it down because it will stain everything.

Dark color. Concentrated. Strong bouquet and flavors of plum, dark fruits and very earthy with secondary flavors. Starting to enter its mature phase based on this one bottle. Will need to retry soon To see if that is where the rest of them are and if so still no rush to drink just a big change from the freediness to the earthiness which there are 2 different styles both of which I like

Fruity but also earthy. Excellent concentration. Drinking really well now but no rush

This wine has been consistently excellent. Unfortunately it was consumed outside and just a little bit of warmth really made this not show well
