Decanted for 30 min. Overall: good wine with good QPR (paid $40)
Nose: fresh raspberries, melted semi-sweet chocolate, then dried mushrooms, bell peppers, and oak like a clean butcher block.
Taste: juicy raspberries burst in your mouth and then remain on the finish with the medium gentle tannins and oak pulling at your gums. The fruit is fresh and dark, but no elements of tar or leather. This is all fresh fruit and wood. Nothing dried. The acidity is medium-high.
Complexity is medium and I am not envisioning more showing with time. There’s not a lot to smooth out. Drink now or in the next 5 years.

Nice complexity. Very clean, almost light. Aging feels right.
