Double-decanted 30 minutes ahead for airing and sediment (14.5%). Dark cherry red, the nose was an earthy mix of eucalyptus, Asian spices and aniseed. Full bodied, the silky palate explodes to life and takes me on a journey of Durif discovery. Waves of mature dark fruit sensations, balanced acidity and mostly resolved tannins make their presence welcome, and the length of the finish brought a smile to my face. Plenty of life left in this solidly built wine.
