90-minute double decant. Very deep dark magenta core, with more faded ruby color outside. Mushroom, milk chocolate, blackberry, cassis, waffle cone, and subtle candy corn. Smooth , dry palate. Full tannins on the longish finish.
This was the surprising WOTN at our monthly supper club. It’s definitely drinking at its peak for my palate. Excellent QPR here.
Slow ox’d overnight. Deep dark magenta color (with little to no signs of age). Blackberry Fruit Roll-up, brown sugar, and subtle chocolate. Very dry, plush palate. Firm, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.
This was nice, but would have been better with a one hour traditional decant. The fruit comes off as a bit stewed. Nice QPR nonetheless.

14.8% ABV, a little higher than I normally enjoy.
Plum, dark cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate, pencil lead. Great structure, can hold for 5+ years easily.

Beautiful nose, nice but not overpowering fruit. Solid tannins and consistent flavor from first sip through back end swallow.
