NOSE: sweet oak; high-toned; fresh dandelions and potting soil; approachable, but too young (would like to see some of the oak get more integrated).
BODY: medium bodied.
TASTE: bitter, with noticeable oak, but simultaneously approachable; oak calmed down, but did not disappear, over the first 1.75 hrs.; alc. does come through at moments. Prettier than the '20 Latour Martillac the following evening. Fine to drink now if you're o.k. with young Bdx., but I won't be touching either of my remaining two for at least 5 years.
