January 24, 2024 - Billowing on the nose, but also slightly reductive maybe? Definitely has a toasty/roasty side on the nose, toasted spice and brown butter, but then there's pretty ripe cherry and raspberry, a little candied but nothing cloying, pretty notes of rose water and desiccated pine forest too... medium to full, this is so sneaky, it is dense and layered but also has a beautiful ethereal quality, seamless and smooth tannins on the mid-palate, beautiful sweet cherry and floral inner perfume... the sweet fruit really pops on the finish, and everything spreads out and coats magnificently, tannins grip gently, acids fold into everything. Great stuff, pretty much ready to drink, but I would decant it for a few hours to see if that toasty/roasty stuff blows off. Definitely worth following 5 years, if not 20+, hard to tell at this point, as it is already quite immediate, but I have a feeling its sneaky intensity and perfect balance will carry it for many many years.
