  December 8, 2023 - To begin, this had dried out completely. It was riverbed, iron, and a little graphite and not much else, maybe some mild animale. Then slowly but surely a little cool, dark fruit came out...bruised plum. Then mint emerged, and finally, with about 2 hours of air, we had mature red fruit consisting of plum, prune, and red currant. Once it finished putting itself back together, it was very nice. Softened, but present tannins, a medium body, garnet red turning to orange at the rim. It started austere and never got anywhere close to plush. There was a tar component as well...something toasted or burnt.
