This fairly shutdown at this point. It better futures lies ahead 10 years from now. The fruits are; ripe, lush and ruby. Dry powdery tannins. Blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum skin, dark chocolate, coco powder, touch of mint, baking spices galore, soft, shuttle earthiness with purple florals.

Feb 22nd, 2020As expected due to its young age, this wine is deep, opaque purple in color and almost black at its core. I double decanted this bottle due to its youth and let it breath for about an hour. On the nose are aromas of blackberry, blueberry, anise, cigar box, pepper, chocolate, and crushed stone. In the mouth, the palate consists of flavors of black fruit, licorice, smokey earth, violet, dark chocolate, and a touch of ground coffee. Full-bodied with medium (+) acidity, medium (+) but refined tannins, and a very long, concentrated finish. I definitely committed infanticide with this one, but wanted to try it and will definitely buy more. Give it at least 5-7 more years but drink over the coming decades.
