Nice floral acidity. Very pleasant to drink right now — a month ago
Beautiful glass filling nose with flowers and tar followed by dark bramble, smoke, leather and liquorice. Pretty chewy tannines and a long finish. Wine got very divergent notes and ratings on ct but I am liking this a lot. No blockbuster over extracted powerhouse but freshness and complexity. Very glad to have 5 more. — 32 minutes ago
Medium deep , ruby centre and ruby rim . Dark blackberry , spicy tobacco , earthy currants , coffee . On the palate quite dark fruit focused , blackcurrant , blackberry , dark cherry . With time in the glass this seems to show a bit more of the earthy , tobacco notes also present on the nose. Quite high fresh acidity , slightly gritty tannins , quite good tobacco tinged finish . This is showing well now but will age well for a further decade — a month ago

High expectations for this wine. Great vintage and great producer
Starts out dark and closed. Appears to need a lot of airtime. Into the decanter
2 hours later it’s paired with short ribs and the fattiness seems to bring out some better flavor and the dark flavors really complement the meat.
Post dinner this wine is beginning to show something but it’s still dark brooding and too tight.
I’m going to let the other bottles sit for a few years. I’ve found the more recent coombsville wines from 2019 and forward to me a lot more open and fruity. — 19 days ago
