Not as tannic as I expected which is likely due to poor storage at the restaurant. Not a lot of fruit at first, more floral, violet and lavender, then animal notes and dark minerality. Very midpalate. Modest freshness here. With air, the fruit came out, more of like a ripe dark sour cherry. Decanter seems like the way to go.

Aroma: almond pit, cherries, plums and herbs. Palate: cherries and plums with ample mineral and dried herb notes. Nice acid balance and good tannic structure.

Paired with zaatar crusted salmon, super lifted nose with red cherry and crushed herbs, good depth and balance.

Ravinia at Home (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Small glass, brief note. Very reductive start. Lots here, just in the background for now.
