Poured a glass and let it sit for 30-40 minutes while I prepped dinner. Nose was initially a little closed but opened up to floral notes with a beam of cherry running through the center. Drinking very well right now. Integrated tannins, bright acidity, mouth coating with medium+ finish. Opened up to reveal strawberry and dark cherry giving way to leather and a little spice on the finish. It’s got a few more years but why wait? Delicious.

Ruby, some browning or brick at the rim. Blackberry, raspberry and a little strawberry. Medium to full. Acidity that freshens and enlivens. Decent finish that feels light at first but subtly lingers. Drink now and over the next 5 years.

I wasn’t certain what to expect but it was utterly spectacular. At it’s peak so drink now, no need to wait. Tannins are resolved so you’re left with ripe, mature fruit. Full-bodied, mouth filling, 1 minute+ finish. Luckily , I have a couple more.
