Nice dark cherry color and little sediment. A bit of chocolate and dark black fruits reveal after about 30 min decant with completely resolved tannins for a more jammy mouthfeel. Fruits taking a backseat here and more tertiary notes on finish. Might be good time to drink up. An enjoyable treat to have found on WTSO wish I'd bought few more to have tried along the way.

Unlike the previous bottle, which was well-aged and showed lovely tertiary notes, this one was tightly wound, oaky, and impenetrable. We poured our glasses back into the bottle and recorked it, and hope it will be approachable by tomorrow.
There seems to be a lot of bottle-to-bottle variation in this one. We've had 3 bottles this Spring and they tasted like 3 different wines.
Addendum: Day two--same as day one. Tight, tart, and impenetrable, even after a long decant. We poured the wine back into the bottle, to try again tomorrow.
