Thursday, February 29, 2024 - On pop and pour it was dominated by cedar, tobacco, and other oak-driven notes, with some more red than dark fruit and a hint of spice. Very drying tannins, with moderate acidity.
After a couple of hours it integrated a bit more, the fruit was still muted and more red than dark, but was less disjointed with the cedar notes than it was initially.
A very fine wine with decent length, but it seems the fruit has gone into hiding and the strong secondary notes haven't shown up to the party yet.
