Baked cranberry nose. fairly dark color on the pinot spectrum. spices.. pepper, cinnamon. Palate begins fairly fruit forward and quickly skews into the vegetal, reminiscent of a cab franc. Had a musty element on open which does diminish while it does not disappear. It ends up an underripe, cooked blackberry note. Tannins M-. Acid deficient. Not "bad" per se but would not call good. Decanted over 1 hour period. Will return to tomorrow. Day two the fruit has opened up to a modest degree but the musty element remains.

Consumed over two nights. Pretty tight/closed initially, but with air a lot of pretty dark fruit comes through, along w some bitter chocolate and varietal funk. Fairly tannic for PN and clearly has the bones to age a bit. If I had more.’c I’d wait 2-4 years.
