  Popped and poured. Medium garnet color. Really nice nose with some black cherry and plum, tobacco, cedar, baking spice. Similar flavors on the palate with a surprising juiciness to the fruit framed by some toasty oak that has integrated nicely into the wine. Medium to medium+ acid, tannins mostly resolved. Nice finish. Overall a very nice showing I would say this wine is likely drinking at peak but should hold for a bit longer.

  This was a nice wine, nothing particularly compelling, but it did get markedly better after 2 hours of a double decant. In a nice spot now - should last for a few more years.

  Well structured and fresh with dark berries and plum flavors and average acidity. Enough tannins for a few more years of developing in the bottle but right now is at the peak drinking window.

  Still years to run - tight and unyielding for hours even after decanting. But definitely improving!

  Interesting drink over 2 days. Immediately after PnP the nose was tight but palate was quiet good - black cherry, leather and spice. After warming up and getting air the EtOH become more noticeable and the fruits were more red. The next day felt more integrated so hopeful to see where it ends up in several more years
