Tasted after a 2.5 hour decant in a magnum decanter. Huge notes of blueberry and flowers, extremely soft tannins. Secondary notes of roasted meats. The wine is in a great place now.

The initial reaction is that it needs lots more time. Decanted for 3 hours, then drank over the next 2. It wasn't until about hour 4 that it began to open up and become enjoyable. Big notes of cherry and tobacco, but extremely tannic.

Had at the winery and at home. Very round and plush for a Sauv Blanc. Tropical notes and good acid. One of the best SBs I've had this year!
