Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, tobacco, some capsicum, organic earth, vanilla and a selection of cool and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Very tasty and even more, fairly priced. Drink now through 2041.
