Friday, March 3, 2017 - This started out really nice and balanced with great chocolate cherry and earthy clay notes, but grew a bit confected with decanting. Palate is loaded with red berries, cherry, vanilla and some earthy clay. Finish starts fat but quickly devolved to woodsmoke, charcoal and tanin.
Hard to say where this goes. Drink with an hour in the decanter now, future... not sure how long to hold.
