  Great depth and balance. Lavender and dried herbs. Blueberry and blackberry compote, but it’s not jammy. Wet graphite and white pepper. Lovely. Hold for several more years.

  Five hour decant was perfect. Lost some fruit density on the second day.

  Still a baby. After 5 hours in decanter the tannins eased and the wine was fabulous. Big dark fruit, iron, mocha. Finish went on forever. Still probably won’t open next bottle till 2026 or 2027.
