Community Tasting Note

• WindFlyer Likes this wine: 92 points

  March 27, 2024 - dark ruby and medium plus body in the glass. shows the trademark Ryan perfumed nose with rose petals mingling with the red and dark cherry, pomegranate, spice, and mushroom and undergrowth. a spice vein runs from entry to finish thru the concentrated black plum and red cherry fruits. slightly earthy, savoury, and dried herb notes appear mid-palate. good acidic lift, fairly well-integrated tannins and very long.
  
  while mostly primary, it is in its window already and hinting at the tertiary elements and additional complexity that will develop with some more time (upside potential here). drink according to your preference.
  
  14.8% AbV; seventeen months' ageing in French oak barrels (30% new, 20% second use, 50% neutral).
