Nice mature cab with dark red and black fruit, licorice and menthol. Nice fruity mid palate and a long or medium long finish. Nice mouth feel. Really nice overall.

PnP. Needed time as it started out with a slight bitterness in the finish. After 30 minutes, that resolved. Garnet red with light bricking at the rim. Very aromatic with blackberry, currant, cassis, black tea, spice, and earth. Medium body with black fruits, cassis, spice, earth, and tea. Silky smooth finish. Not sure it will improve, but showing well.

Dark garnet inky/purple colored, medium-full-bodied, complex but nicely balanced and integrated flavors of blackberry and black currant fruits, notes of cassis, black tea, subtle notes cinnamon spice, Linda noted sprites of menthol or mint, what one pundit referred to as a "rather warm finish", turning to supple tannins on a bright expressive lingering finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2021/02/birthday-family-dinner-celebration.html

Still somewhat youthful, but developing some nice aged secondary flavors. Dark red fruits, black currant, tobacco, plum. Long finish, still some tannins lurking. Very, much better than I was expecting.
