Darker, slightly clouded dark ruby; lovely nose of pot pouri, black/red cherry compote, soft earth tones, underbrush, hint of licorice; silky and smooth on the palate, everything well-balanced if not just slightly soft--but even then tannins were present but not too firm. Long finish, on the meatier side of burgs but with the age and complex nose, it went really well with the Copper River Salmon which has great flavor intenisty. Wish I had more. At its peak but easily could hold for another 4-5 years. B b-day

really nice over three nights... this was med plus acidity and lifted, with dark but red fruit, for a wine that seemed 'bright' it still had depth and a hint of umami (on night one)... thinking this has plenty of room to go... changing / extending my drinking window to 2022 to 2036 (had earlier made the last date 2032)

Much finesse. Delightful nose. Concentrated fruit more cherry than raspberry. Beautifully rounded.
