Saturday, December 8, 2018 - Singular persona of smokey berries, black licorice, cool herbs, and medicinal notes. The fruit is so pure here, in both flavor and flowing texture. Everything is integrated; seamless. Interestingly though this decelerated over the course of a two hour dinner. It was explosive out of the gate, then mellowed perfectly, but lost some fruit and oomph and seemed more tannic toward the end. This experience at least suggests the prime drinking window with NO decant is now-2022.
