Pop/pour. On the nose dark fruits, smoky oak and licorice. On the palate, rich body with enough acid to lift it up. Oak provides notes of tar and vanilla. There's also a hint of menthol that creeps in on the background. Finish is extremely long and lingering.

The longer this sits in the glass, some light but manageable tannins show on the finish. The acidity becomes a bit more pronounced. Maybe a bit too much so for now. Was going to rate 95 points but dropping a point for now.
