This wine was amazing. Even with some dry cork issues (requiring us to strain), this was such a surprise. The wine had a brightness to it (perhaps a sunrise?) that would have fooled anyone about its age. It was bright, lively, but with such precision and depth. Flavors were all right on; super harmonious. An absolute knockout. Drink now.

Aromas of blackberry, sour cherry, currant and earth. Flavors of blackberry, dried currant, dried cherry, iron and earth. Ends with a 30-35 second finish with dried blackberry notes.

Upon P&P, tannins were slightly forward, nose was full of dark fruits,some leather. Within 30 minutes the palate was velvety, oak was nicely integrated and there were layered flavors of dark fruit, a little spice, and the nose was heavenly and promoted continuous swirling to savor the experience. In a perfect place right now. Wish I had more...
