Continuing on the French expedition; this is divine! First sip was luxurious, silky and deep.

Poured through a Soirée and decanted for 30 minutes. Beautiful garnet robe. The funk hits you first and I like that. Wet hay and bright brambles with black pepper and garrigue. Delightful still on day three. Tannins and acid to round out. Balanced with the 15% ABV held in check. Loads of life in this yet. Hold or enjoy with patience now. Four bottles remaining and I'll get more if I can.

Still drinking well. Needs a long decant and really comes alive with food.

Silk and velvet. Dark fruit and a great balance of fruit and tannin. Still a tad heavy. This probably could have waited 5-10 years, but life is short. Just drink it...

A highly unfortunate episode of spilling 3/4 of the bottle yielded only 5-6 oz. of juice remaining in the bottle to drink. The remaining juice was dynamite, though. Very dusty and rustic with dried cherries, cedar, tar and black pepper. Fantastic.
