Decanted .. Wow, this has really gelled in the past year. Getting close to full intergration oak/tannins/fruit, concentrated dark fruit that melts the finish. Hold another year if you can.. Drink now thru 2028

Blackberry cream soda, vanilla, leather, graphite. Bright red fruit and floral tastes with a hint of earthiness/smoke. All the flavors come together in an intriguing manner.

Vinturied several times into decant, consumed over several hours. Still tight and tannic. Lots of smoke and oak which over powers the fruit at this point. Absolutely too soon to open this wine, it seems that the components are there for a long life. Drink 2024-2028/30
