1 hour decant(lots of fine/cloudy sediment). A remarkable deep purplish garnet color. On the nose: stewed sour red berries, menthol, cassis, floral, graphite. Taste: Wow!! Silky, creamy, elegant, fresh, dense mouthfeel wine with blackberry, cassis, earth, graphite, and a slightly spiced herb and tar medium plus finish. YUM! Glad to have 2 more bottles. — 6 months ago

This wine is inky dark and almost black. It’s a meal.
Needs food and a dense pairing. We had chili
Whomever said this needs airtime is dead on. I gassed this with oxygen and let it breathe for 2 hours and it still was just beginning to show its fruit at the tail end.
I would aerate and give a solid 3-4 hour decant next time.

Such rustic and funky wine! Love it. Pale color, forest floor, red fruits, and foxy. Good acidity and saline taste, medium length. Decant it at least an hour. — 2 years ago
