April 10, 2020 - Very secondary scents. Think of waking through a forest in late fall. Woody, decaying leafs, some pine and some truffle-mushroom-y scents. The tannins are tame and the acid keeps pace with them. Flavours of black tea, mushrooms, dried red fruits like cherries and strawberries but still garden-mulch-y. Very fine texture. I don’t think this’ll keep more than 10 years. Drink it sooner than later.

Starts off pretty flat but after 45 minutes it really started to express itself. It paired really well with the eggplant. Doesn’t have much of a tannin structure left, but well balanced for its age between acid/flavours. Wouldn’t recommend a pop and pour. Definitely give it at least 20-30 minutes.
