Slow to hatch but turned into a beautiful wine after about an hour. Upfront deep dark dried fruit infused with notes of leather and graphite. Matured tannins fully integrated with the wine gave it a lingering finish and a desire for more. Paired very well with aged gouda cheese and truffle infused salami.

This bottle tasted a bit better than the last one. Not remembering the price point.

At home. Not remembering where this was acquired, maybe a Morton’s locker tasting?

Very rich, dark with tart fruity edge, complex. Layered earthy finish lingering for minutes.

Spicy on nose and taste. I enjoyed it better on night two after the spice cooled down a bit. Wish the fruit would balance off the spice
