February 3, 2023 - Nose: cumin, oregano, blueberry, turmeric. Palate: Distinctly herbal. Spritzty at first which blew off with decant. Fairly significant tannin invites some potent bitterness and like a vegetable broth with some twang. Acid well balanced. Needs time.
Day two: more foresty aroma, wood. Tarragon. Palate has come together, some umami, bitterness and twang gone. Vegetal flavor has rounded out nicely. Superior to night one. -

November 6, 2021 - Prune color. Unripened red berries or, maybe, overripened plums on the tongue. Some acidic spritz on the tongue. Some vininess under the rear palate. While it is a fairly full-bodied wine, it seems to have a contradictory thin mouthfeel.
