Pulled the cork on the bottle tasted with a Coravin three weeks ago. The wine comes to life with air! It shows strong, Bordeaux-like funk, with peat moss accents. Serious acid and tannin, expansive yet precise, layered finish. It will last another decade, or longer, and might soften a little more. 92-93.

Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of rose petals, leather and black currants. Flavors of Bing cherries, black berries and black raspberries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink now with air or continue to hold.

Opaque purple. Lots of sediment. Nose of tart bery. Full body, plump texture with chewy fruit and slightly drying tannins. Good structure and very tasty finish.

Coravin pour. Soft up front, but still featuring serious tannin. Acid is hanging tough too. Interesting.
