Ripe strawberries, bramble berries, kirsch, chalky mineral notes, anise and hoisin sauce. Well-strewn tannins and a fleshy, concentrated middle. The finish is long, with cottony tannins and some sap. Excellent today and will age well. The body is medium and elegant. Drink 2025 - 2035.

Writing this note on day 2. More open for business today for sure and hard edges smoothed out. Aromas of raspberry Grenache, roasted herbs, iron and lavender. Flavors of raspberry, kirsch liquor, blackberry, iron and cherry. Ends with a 30+ second finish with raspberry and chocolate notes.

Medium ruby red in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & raspberries with overtones of garrigue & earth/dusty notes, floral notes, pepper, olives, tobacco, minerals & a hint of cedar. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, strawberries & raspberries with herbs, spices, pepper, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but has the structure to continue further development with additional aging.

Thank God for bottle variation... I drank this wine 6 months ago and provided a meager assessment, but now I have found an entirely new wine. This bottle (which was bought at the same time as the other) is loaded with black pepper, some very dark Mediterranean spices, black olives, cured beef, garigue and limestone. Still not a tremendously age-worthy wine but will definitely give near-term enjoyment; provided that you get a "good bottle".

Denne overrasket veldig positivt. Lettere og rundere enn årene skulle til si. Gleder meg til å smake denne igjen om 10-20 år, må bli magisk da
