Double decanted 12 hours prior to serving and it opened within an hour into dinner, without much change afterward. Deep ruby and purple color. Menthol, raspberry, herbal blackberry on the nose. Pomegranate, black cherry, blackberry, black tea on the palate with a lengthy 35-40 sec finish. It did have some elegant pinot noir-like features that reminded me of.. MacDonald. The freshness and purity of fruit was remarkable. Although primary at this stage, it was clear that this is high quality juice and I detected no smoke taint despite being 2020. I’d say 94.5 but certain to improve with age.
