As before. Since I'm apparently not going to learn to look at my notes, I'm sticking a sticky on the other two magnums that says OPEN IT THE DAY BEFORE YOU DUMMY :)

Unscrew and pour. A bit under 4 years since my last btl. On the nose: cranberry, rose, wild strawberry, sandalwood, soft herbs, and loads of.spice. On the palate: lovely acidity, good density, spicy red fruit, soft minerality, a hint of VA and attenuated tannin on the finish. An excellent btl.

As before: Soft and red, thin and less interesting on day 1. Day 2 really brought out the complexity, and by day 3 this was singing... soft red fruit, dirt and with just little hints of tertiary starting to shine through... yum. Glad we have 3 more of these magnums.

Bright red cherry with some baking spice. Good balance, very good overall, with medium+ weight, better length.

Pale ruby
Nice balance of fresh acidity and soft red berries. 13.5%abv is unobtrusive but probably slightly understated. Attractive mouthfeel
Drunk at 60-63 F
