Popped and poured. Strong dark red. Pretty good legs. There is a core of dark fruit that shows in the nose, but mostly muted at present. Pretty much the same story in the mouth, although more fruit is in evidence. Mostly blackberry, and fairly straightforward, without much complexity apparent at the moment. Today: 4-11-16-9: 90/100.

Corovin'd at purchase, 10/2020, 250ml; way too young. Sat at RT until final consumption 5/2023 and showed good development despite the Ar backfill. Agree with most comments, excepting did not find excessive Eth or acid; but well balanced and on the lighter side.

Ripe red and black cherries, black pepper, vanilla, red plums, sweet fruit, cedar, and baking spices on the nose. Reasonably balanced with primary red fruit character, more vanilla/oak flavors, good acidity, and just a hint of alcoholic heat on the palate. Good finish. Feels like this needs quite a bit more time for the oak and primary fruit flavors to integrate and develop. 92+
