Deep and dark mix of garnet and ruby red. Layered and dark nose with spices, cinnamon, mixed dark berries, and dark cocoa. Moderate tannins (7/10) and medium bodied. Muted palate with dark baking spices. Around 30 or so minutes longer it started to open up more with notes of dark black cherries, and a hint of minerality. More bordeaux in style than being a fruity napa red. Dry and long finish. Needs a bit of time to develop further. Drink from 2018 till 2025.

Not sure if this is the vintage that I have had several times this past year, but it falls a little short of my memory of prior tastes. It's mainly a lack of prominent fruit on both the nose and palate. Still, a great wine though.
