Three and a half hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Currant and blackberry are prominent. Smooth, very dry, full bodied palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish. 75% Leopoldina and 25% Fortuna fruit.
My score is just a placeholder. This needs another year or two in the cellar AND a long decant. It’s drinking very tight right now.
Menu decanted. Very very deep electric magenta color. Crushed sea shells, mulberry, violet, creme de cassis, and subtle spearmint on the nose. Super tongue drying palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
This rating is based on the huge potential here. This needs another year (at least) and a good, long decant.
Popped and poured. Immediately, the tannins are very soft an approachable for such a young wine. Big blue fruit, ready to drink now. Very nice and pleasant. Better than an average Napa cab. If you can wait a few more years, it should be better. 93 pts.
