Tannins have faded, very fruit forward still. Opened up well over a few hours and the last glass was enjoyed 48 hours later after being under vacuum and was great.

Quick decant. Nose shows blackberry, boysenberry, vanilla, and white pepper. On the palate, rich purple fruits start sweet then turn dry and tart, adding lots of black fruit flesh and a light sage component. Thick dark fruits and fluffy tannins fade quickly into blueberries and lingering minerals. A fun drinker but it seemed to fail to fully develop.
Big and brambly, but if cassis, a bit on the dark fruited side, low tannins and acid, alcohol is notable, long finish, a bit syrupy and raisined nice on its own but compared to other bedrocks this would be on the bottom of the list.

Starting to come into the drinking zone, but fruit is still pretty primary. Give loads of air or hold.

Excellent -- nice "dustiness"; medium fruit
