This bottle was opened several hours prior to service and enjoyed over the course of six days. Yes, 6 days. I kept it under cork and refrigerated. It was delicious throughout. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart, black and red fruits: cassis, mixed brambles, plum, tobacco, cool and warm spices and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff. Drink now through 2046.
