Nose: Wet dark soil, old cedar, orange blossom, scent of some darker fruit, but is masked by all the moist earthy notes; very nice. Palate: Tart cassis, sour red plum, dark cherry, heavy dose of rustic weathered wood, scorched earth, playdoh; dense mouthfeel and creamy tannins, high acid; with more coaxing there's some mossy cedar and even root beer. Undoubtedly a complex wine and enjoyable now, but certainly has the foundation to improve and last for a very long time. Held up well over three days with it shinning brightest on day two.

Same notes as before; ox-blood color, gorgeous nose, long finish, greeat balance, and will improve in the coming years. Had o ver cheese, ham, and crackers in JeJu Island with our friends in the kitchen.

Second day. Green notes, lots of minerality, black and red fruit, medium-full body, high acid, nice finish. Still young, needs 5 years. If drinking today, decant 2 hours+.
Not bad but not my style because of greenness!
Glass had some issues that led to me thinking it was spoiled.

Decanted 1-2 hours. From initial taste, even though it’s still very youthful, the tannin is not harsh. There is notes of cassis, plum, black cherry, chocolate. Medium+ acidity and high tannin. Tannin is velvety.

Ink - rich thick blacknblueberry fruit with a swirl of charcoal - richly concentrated over healthy tannins - easy to enjoy now but seems maybe best at idk maybe 10-15 yrs old in a climate controlled cellar
