Blueberry and overripe raspberries on the nose. Really nice bouquet. Mostly primary notes on the palate. The oak is mellowing from years prior as well. Red and black fruits on the palate, bit of graphite. Still very young - fruit forward. Tannins and acid are plentiful. Will try again in two years.

Primary, sweet, and oaky. Heavy, syrupy mouthfeel. Maybe in a few more years this will shed its baby fat and drop some sweetness, but I wouldn't count on it. Not my thing at all.

Yeah, plenty of oak here, but it's got some serious fruit and structure to back it up. I think this has lots of potential. Fairly approachable now, but I'd say try again in 2 years.

Super dense, blueberry milk shake, could dilute this 50/50 with water and have two bottles of wine. Great stuff if you're in the mood.

Opened this way to early because night 1 it was so sweet and Oaky that I didn’t finish my glass.
Night 2 and night 3 improved considerably and it developed some depth.
The ‘22-‘29 drink window is probably spot on, and this was solid in the $20’s purchase if you can decant or wait on opening it.
