Child's birth year wine to share with a truffled roast beef and both Mother and Baba.
Medium ruby. Some cherry fruit backed by a cyanic, cherry pit/almond note. Tannins resolved. Just enough structure to stand up to the dish.

Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and exotic spices. On the palate ripe blackberry and currant flavors with earthy spice. Medium finish with very grippy tannins, ending with fruit and herb oak spice character. Tasting Sample.

Pnp. Red fruits, cedar, and spice. A bit of earthiness on the first glass but that disappeared after a glass.

Way too young but could be a few points higher in a few years.
