  July 4, 2022 - I don’t have much to add beyond the review preceding mine, which is spot on, in terms of flavor profile and probable development . I did not decant this, and paired it with “beast” burgers (elk, wagyu, bison and boar) , so we noted more blood, tangy iron, pomegranate, chocolate mint, and espresso, w the dominant sweet ripe cherry flavors. Decanting would be preferred given some chunky sediment on the bottom. Lots of brambly blackberry, also. 40 second finish with mint, creamy dark chocolate custard, and black tea. Already more developed than the bigger and more extracted 2012, with fully integrated tannins, this is ready to drink now, over the next ten years. A real treat.
