Enjoyable wine with dark fruit, earthy notes and serious tannic backbone -- even after 3 hour decant. A bit burly but the fruit almost enough to balance it. Long finish. Different but comparable experience with a 2016 Myriad Empyrean that I drank that night as well. I think this probably needs another 2-4 years to soften and integrate.

Popped and poured. Nose of blackberry, currant, cedar, licorice and spice. Black fruit, cedar, licorice, spice and ripe tannins on the palate. Long finish. Full bodied. Served with chili.

So very dark and brooding. Lots of sediment.
