May 18, 2019 - Delicious and juicy. A bit of floral notes but mostly bright juicy red fruit. Occasionally a bit of tannin poking out, but already feeling 95% integrated. Yummy. Probably peak in a couple years and last for another 5 or 6 past that.

June 9, 2018 - Decanted, open up after 90 min, ripe and dark fruit, supertight tannin and bracing acidity balanced the earthy, leathery flavors in along finish.
