Cassis, black cherry, some black plum, just a hint of dried fruit, very balanced tobacco and vanilla notes from the barrel, and bay thyme, graphite, and a bit of violet round things out. Velvety tannins and a bright acid add lots of structure. While I don’t think this is one for the long haul, I would be very curious what this turns into in 10 years.

Really starting to gain complexity, lots of cherry, dried plum, apple skin, black tea, tree bark, forest floor, and a little hint of cola. Has a bit of weight, and a silky texture that the acidity cleans up on the finish. Really lovely.
