July 10, 2020 - Open for 2 full days now. Drinking at outside temp, about 72f. This is dark, with the oak (cinnamon and nutmeg spices) adding fragrance to the aromatics. The dark fruit is pretty intense here, with a brushing of olive and rosemary (presume from whole cluster?), alongside what is mainly blue fruit with a dash of black fruit mixing with it. The weight here is managed pretty well, and given the color I was thinking the wine might be pretty large in frame but it doesn't show that way. The wine finishes with some light tannin and an inky, charcoal note. The wine to me still feels young but in terms of balance and weight, I don't have any concern in drinking this now. It will come down to whether you want to have more aged character with time or instead enjoy some of the forward presence of the wine that it shows at this stage. I prefer the latter, as the youthfulness of the wine now really brings pleasure.
