November 5, 2021 - Maraschino cherry, raspberry, rosewater, a little mint and mushrooms. Fresh and lively, easygoing, this is shaping up nicely.

11/6/21, 8:06 AM - It is opening up nicely. Hard to say what the "peak" drinking window will be for this one, as the fruit is so exuberant right now, and one could argue that it will not get better. It will probably still be a really interesting in wine in 10 years, but that fruitiness will have changed, and some may see that for the better but others will have preferred it young. Hard to say when you should drink it, but if you have a more than one bottle I would drink one in the next few months. I'll torture myself about saving my last two bottles, but I'll try to keep one for beyond 5 years from now.
