Thursday, February 17, 2022 - What a difference a year makes. This is still a youngster, but it's much more accessible than the first two times I tried it. Similar flavors and aromas: berry, dark cherry, earth, mineral, and a little gamey. Tannins are still pretty assertive, but much better integrated overall. Still takes a lot of time and air to really open, but this is really showing much better than it was on release. This is my third out of six and I don't regret opening this now since it's a really good showing and isn't as closed an unyielding as the first two bottles. For my palate, it'd best to hold these longer, as it can easily go 10+ years from the vintage. Good value for an age worthy wine. This has a very promising future.

I opened a second one about two months later and it was still unyielding. It's starting to come around but best to give this one time and forget about it for now.
