The cruise continues! Night eight aboard the Allure of the Seas and 50% off all wines. This was still way too young and we left it for the next day.
Deep ruby red. Dusty nose with a touch of dirty cellar. Needed to air out and out came the layers with cherries, cassis, forest floor, spices and oddly a touch vegetal. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Tons of structure and balanced acidity with layers of dark cocoa, red cherries and earthy undertones. Long finish and this definitely needs some time. Drink from 2019 till 2039.

Amazing floral notes. Full bodied with ripe red & black fruits, velvety texture, and a great balance. Smooth and elegant. Amazing

Nice blend to accompany a smoked prime rib. Very soft tannins.

So sweet when it touches your lips. I was expecting a Cali fruit bomb but this is delicious, earthy, fruit and tannins not overwhelming

This is really going to be a stellar wine in 7-10 years. Very good now, destined for greatness.
