Sunday, August 28, 2022 - Drank from a double mag that was stored at cellar temp. Explosive nose, dark cherry, currants, anise, cinnamon, vanilla, tobacco leaf, ripe bell pepper, fine tannins that are now integrated very well with the fruit and structure. I imagine this will be over the hill from a 750, but out of a larger format this was singing!
