November 13, 2022 - Decanted for four hours before service - eight might have been better. Significant sediment filtered during the decant. In the glass, auburn-tinted pink at the rim, shading to dark, clear raspberry-maroon at the core. On the nose, raspberries, briny olives, and high-toned cedar. On the palate, beef blood, olive tapenade, mint, and kirsch weaving in and out of the spotlight, with a loose, open attack that quickly becomes structured and firm, relenting only slightly on the long, complex finish. Not a tannic monster by any means, and the raw materials are there, but this clearly needs more time.

On the positive side, this seems to catch just about everything - on the negative side, with sediment-heavy wines, it can clog up and require cleaning midway through a decant.
