Decanted for hour. Earth notes dominate, and acidic. I'd prefer more balance with fruit and less heat at the finish. It is a good example of the terroir, however, and if that was the wine makers intention, they hit the mark. I'd pair with game and drink now.

Delicious. Slightly tannic but a little breathing took care of that. Some oak on the palate, but well integrated...nice finish

Very tannic and dry on day one. I will see how this evolves over the next few days.
