Drunk w Christmas Eve dinner 2020 of roasted eye of round, porcini gravy, mash etc. Medium plus ruby. Forest-y aromas of almond tinged cherry, violets. Wife claims noticable Am oak, but I don't really feel it here (bottle age?) Acidity is high. This feels like it could easily go another 20 years.

Delicious. Elegance and grace with more tertiary aromas showing spice and earth and bricks. Reminiscent of more feminine Brunelli. Drinking very nicely don't hold it in your cellar much longer.

The first thing that grabs you about this beauty is the lively acidity - still present and poignant many years after bottling. Candied plums, blackberries, dark cherry, toast, tobacco, and some leather on the nose. Light body with supple, delicate tannins. Hints of baking spices and cured meat in the finish.
