Opened and decanted an hour ahead of a gourmet, greasy cheeseburger with all of the fixings. This wine cut the cheeseburger in half. The nose brought licorice, tobacco leaf, and minty cherry notes. The medium-full palate delivered a compact core of red cherries mixed with passing hints of green peppers, black pepper, savory chicken broth, and sweet strawberries into a tannic finish. This was accessible after 20-min but best years still ahead. Drink 2023-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

Medium purple color. Medium aromatic nose of strawberry, forest herbs and cedar. Dry, bright acidity, tight tannins, palate follows through. Medium body. Ok balance. Medium finish. Got potential, needs to rest.

Great, fresh, clean. Drinking well now on the fruit but i think the total will add up to more somewhere round 2027.

Restaurant Ever (Chicago): Licorice, kirsch, pepper. Best wine of the night for me by a long shot. Very enjoyable now.
