Tuesday, August 29, 2023 - -- decanted 45 min. before initial taste on Day 1 --
-- tasted non-blind over 1.5 - 2 hrs. on Day 1; revisited on Day 3 --

NOSE: medium+ expressiveness; smells young and fruity, in a cool climate type of presentation; dark purple berries; peppery, with hints of brine and cigar; no brett.

BODY: medium bodied; magenta-tinged garnet color of medium-deep depth; no bricking.

TASTE: oooooh ... damn! savory; dark-fruited; high acidity; some char/campfire; tannins are resolved; *very good*!; elegant, but not thin or weak; 13.5% alc. is hidden; young, but wide open. Drink or Hold. This is great! Day 3: earthy and dark-fruited, with hints of musk/leather and black truffle. Still impressive.

B: 50, 5, 13, 18,. 8 = 94
