Very similar to my prior note from August 2018, though on pop and poor now has some tertiary characteristics (mushroom and forest floor). After some time in the glass, primary fruits re-emerge (blackberry and blackcurrant). Still dark purple with significant tannins; really holding up remarkably well given its age. A real pleasure. However, I would not expect for the development and would drink them if you got them.

Opaque dark red with no hint of bricking. On pop and pour, nose is a little reticent but blackberries, tar, dark chocolate, and blueberries and there. Palate is very well balanced with same flavors as nose and sone residual tannins, and moderately long finish. Holding up remarkably well at 14 years. Good value at $25 from WTSO.

Lovely, ripe complex full bodied red. Lush cherries, blackberries, cocoa, mild earth , and tannins
