January 2, 2021 - Interesting contrast with a bottle from the same stash tasted about 2 months ago. That bottle showed much more evolution, showing soft, bright cherry notes, with the tannins fully resolved. This bottle in January was more as I would have expected based on much earlier bottles, some lingering tannin, with the cherry notes tinged by darker fruit and spice notes. This bottle has turned the corner (or crested the first rise) insofar as the resolved cherry flavors have moved to the front. The acidity and spicy notes drive the long sappy finish...
