Tuesday, March 5, 2019 - This is my second time with this wine and it has not struck me as interesting or attractive to any great measure either time. Just kind of blasé and generic. Given that, it also seems young so I’m not sure how long you’re supposed to wait on these. I have one more that I’ll let sleep for awhile.

It definitely has stuffing and is still rather wound up. I'm curious to see what becomes of it in the next 2-3 years.
