Popped and poured a glass. Typically red cherry, strawberry, cherry cola flavor for a CB. Unfortunately, my guests only wanted bourbon. So, on day 2 the top notes I described above had integrated with underlying flavors. It was hard to describe because there were no dominant flavors, but it was nice. Day 3 - I was expecting to pour it out but it was drinking even nicer than day 2. No idea what was happening here as my CB experiences have been that the wines don’t last long on e open, but this was a nice surprise.

Opened and decanted an hour ahead of grilled chicken, rice, and mixed salad. Super funky on opening. Took an hour of air before you could get some sense of definition (high VA). Still wound up and primary with a hard tannic finish, but this has good stuffing and potential. Will be best 2024+. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

樱桃、草莓、栗子、甘草、八角、泥土,以及闻香时更加明显的玫瑰红茶气息。在丰富的单宁和酒精面前,酸度只能尽力跟上步伐。随着醒酒,出现更多黑莓、黑樱桃的成熟果味,香气更加浓郁奔放,口中表现也从轻盈变得均衡沉稳,六个小时依然保持着出色的状态。

Bangin'. Wish it had a bit more acid but still remarkably balanced. Savory, meaty, tons of great red/black fruit, really remarkable stuff

Unfiltered, so a bit cloudy, flamboyant nose and rich flavor, all elements in perfect balance and showing marvelously at age 5. A tour de force!
