  January 27, 2024 - Excellent
  I'd opened this a week or two prior and thought it needed a decant. So I stoppered it and waited for a time and meal that would allow that. Decanted about four hours. This is still surprisingly fresh and zippy. It starts off with a medicinal edge that transforms more into a eucalyptus and herb element. I really loved the interplay between some high toned red fruit and dark fruit, plum, and spice and even some stemmy green sometimes.
  
  Drink or hold, but I'd be interested in trying again in 3-5 years if I had another.
