  July 30, 2022 - Decanted for about an hour ahead of time. Pristine cork with minimal soakage. Moderate amount of smoky sediment in the bottle. Deep ruby red with a garnet rim. Fully mature, savoury, almost gamey, nose of bramble berry, iodine, compost and just a hint of bell pepper. Medium-full bodied, uber dry, almost puckery tannin and acidy combo, long legs and somewhat astringently dried fruit extract. Dried and dusty brambly red fruit, red plum with the skins and stems, chalky tannins, some bell pepper and cedar bark. Decent showing, and still alive and enjoyable with food, but past its prime and needing to be drunk up.
