High upside on this but drinking well now with a brief decant. Notes of bright cherry and cassis, cocoa, hint of tobacco, tannins there but not intrusive. We drank this early to check it out, will be fun to follow over the next decade plus.

This was a barrel sample of the 2019 vintage sealed ca 2020 into a full 750ml bottle (thanks to David of City Center Wines). It’s very juicy, still green. No flaws, good fruit flavors throughout. It will pick up much more character from the barrels as it ages.

Still very fresh. Herbal/floral nose. On the palate there is some tension in the wine. Quite enjoyable
