Friday, September 1, 2023 - Day 1 felt a bit thinner on fruit and heavy handed with spice and oak. Day 2-3 the wine is framed much more elegantly and there is more balance. Currant, pomegranate, bramble, cassis. Graphite, tobacco, baking spices. Tannins still a bit tightly wound but fine. Nice acidity, good body and finish ain't a slouch. I'm thinking another 5-10 and it'll be hitting a peak. Tasty juice but needs time to breathe right now - big time!
