Monday, December 26, 2022 - Underwhelming. Perhaps this needs a serious decanting, but it didn't show a lot of positive evolution over 3+ hrs of being open. Rather poorly managed oak regimen, with a nose dominated by strong vanilla and violet notes that overshadow the core of what could have been pretty red fruits. With lots of air, the oak begins to integrate a bit, revealing raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry and some crushed rock. Unbalanced and a bit ostentatious, I can only hope that time will improve this train wreck.
