Jan 28th, 2019A little further along agewise than I thought it would be. Fruit is lively, a bit tart, but the tannins are smooth, with a long finish. Not sure on where this is headed but we'll see how it opens up as we drink it tonight.

Apr 16th, 2016Somewhat closed and muted. Black currant, black raspberry, dusty cocoa, bitter cherries, unripe plum and raisin notes on the finish. Big tight tannins. Needs time in the bottle. Young

Feb 21st, 2016Still inky and dark, but not foreboding. Lovely nose. Stone fruit on the palate, most tannins gone. Very approachable. Would classify as "in the zone". Pairing with strong cheese and hard salami. Winner.
