  March 23, 2019 - This is one of the most structured and backwards Duharts I can remember. In fact it didn't really shine until the next day. Starts out with a fairly dark and brooding fruit profile underneath quite a lot of tannic muscle. If it's showing any of its usual "lead pencil" character it's the filling and not the cedar, though it does also betray a bit of raw, dry oak. The next day a lot more berry fruit sweetness seeps through and it comes across both more friendly and more layered - that mineral element has expanded into a sheet of metallic rock - though it is still heavily tannic.
