This was delicate and subtle yesterday, and after 24 hours of air it is far from a powerhouse, but it is exploding on the nose and not at all shy. Intense aromas of dark cherry juice and distillate, strawberry, raspberry, sweet almond candy, roses, dried pine needles, roasted mushrooms, bloody lamb... medium to full on the palate, serious structure, great floral and herbal inner perfume, vivacious and energetic, coats the palate with layers of ripe fruit and ultra-fine tannins and washes it clean with a beguiling spicy/tart/floral complex that lingers beautifully. This is going to be magnificent when it is mature, but that will probably take 10+. Feel very lucky if you have enough of this to follow it for couple decades.

Very good but not great. Smells like strawberry tastes like crisp greeen apples.
