Nose has ripe plum, dark chocolate covered cherry, ripe raspberry, wet leather, damp wood smoke with light alcohol/menthol trailing.
Palate has ripe black cherry, ripe plum, blackberry jam, fresh black currant, dried licorice, faint vanilla, dark roast coffee grounds, yet mild tannins persist. Long finish, very satisfying.
Decanted ~8H and more time is appreciated, although it's been improving nicely in our glasses. Paired to my homemade red sauce, campanelle pasta and local hot/sweet pork sausage, great match.
Valentine's Day 2021!
This could be a 94 point wine in a few years, future bottles can be enjoyed 2024-28, in proper storage.

Shows the strength of the vintage, with lots of depth of character and power without super-maturity. Early yet, but delicious with a little decant. Drink and hold.
