Wednesday, January 31, 2024 - dark purplish ruby and full-bodied. a bit of funk on the nose clears to reveal dark berries, whiffs of charcuterie, tarragon and leather. very fresh and fruity on the entry, pepper and earthy notes add quite a bit of depth to the layers of (still) crunchy berries. very long, with some balsamic hints at about the minute mark.
far more youthful than one would expect and with room for further development. there's upside potential here.
