At ten years post vintage, this is shaping into a beautiful wine. Fully integrated tannins, silky mouthfeel, but still some structure. Barely any primary notes left, but the secondary and tertiary are speaking clearly. Sandalwood, dry forest floor, if you could taste a garnet, this is what i think it would taste like. Heh.

Better with an hour or two of air. Red fruit (cherry), a bit dry/ chalkiness?, good acidity, tannins. Lingering finish. Could probably use more time. Still really enjoyable.

Dark ruby red, nice translucency. A lot of earth on the nose immediately. Black cherries underneath that. Palate is cherries, mushrooms, spice on the finish, and a nice minerality. Additional air mellowed the earth somewhat and brought out more fruit. Delicious and easy drinking.
