Day 1: Rustic wine featuring cherry, spices, soil and cedar chips. Palate hits you with astringent spices. A bit much. Hopefully this will settle down on day 2/3. Not very good. 83 points Day 2: Much better showing more fruits with cherry and raspberries. Palate is much softer showing black licorice, forest floor, iron and bramble. Medium plus finish. This indicates hold this wine for a few more years or a 3 plus hour decant. 89 points Day 3: Very similar to day 2. Recommendation: This is a hold wine for a few years. If you have several bottles try one over the course of a few days but if it is the last bottle try in 2021.
