Wednesday, January 20, 2021 - Nose really reminded me of a burgundy. Light red fruits, some funk, lightly grilled meet, earthly notes, maybe a hint of floral. Definitely a bit of a light alcohol hit. Medium bodied with a good acidity. Taste was red fruits, light earth, some bitter herbal notes. Very strong tannins with a good bit of astringency. Needs a while in a decanter. This was fantastic with a duck ragu, but much better with food. I think needs a bit of time for the tannins to integrate but is certainly on the initial mature phase. I would drink with a 2 hr decant now, or give another 10 years.
