Similar to the other bottle that I had about 1.5 years ago, this showed well but was not as dense or as complex as I had anticipated. Tasted with a group yesterday who liked it but thought that it was less concentrated and lively than we expected for a Turkey wine. It is soft and plush now so it is not clear to me how much longer this will be at peak (if it is even still there).

A big smooth beast. Gobs of dark mountain fruit. Not sweet or cloying. Tannins are mostly integrated but this hasn't turned flabby yet. Raspberries, black cherry, and even blueberry show through on the palate. Light spice notes one the finish. Drink now-2024.

Give this wine a good 2 1/2 hour decant for it to come together. In a great spot now but a lot of runway left on this one…an easy 3-5 year’s minimum of additional aging is available. After the noted time the nose was espresso with hints of dark chocolate and perhaps a bit of spice as well. Flavor profile was blackberry and some raspberry, also with maybe a hint of spice on the very long finish. Tremendous structure! We started drinking an hour to soon and was landing on a 93, but when the magic moment arrived the finish was mouth coating and long…very long yielding a 94 in my book!
