This wine is in a great spot to consume. I'm still thinking about the recent Basilisk but this is not far behind as the G in the GSM is front and center. Drink or hold.
GSM blend. Semi translucent cranberry red. Well balanced flavor profile of dried strawberries, necco wafer, and with light notes of cigar ash, crushed black pepper, blueberries, smoke and earth. Nice dryness on the long finish. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium plus acidity and body. About 91-92.

Decanted 90 mins ahead off of some sediment. Very deep garnet color. Nice nose of black pepper, herbs, black cherry, earth tones. Quite firm on the palate without being tart. Metallic flavors, cherry, slate, good acidity, excellent structure. Long finish with rich but velvety tannins. This should be even better with time, say, at least 5 years.
