Wednesday, October 27, 2021 - Coravin'd into glass, followed for ~2 hours.

Pours a deep dark ruby with thick, glass staining tears. Nose is a bit tight, but teasing out dark cherry and a hint of woody herb. Palate is a lot more giving than the nose. Rich, dense, full-bodied. Black cherries, gentle cassis, oaky vanilla, with subtle but supportive acid. The finish mimics the palate but has more oaky baking spice. Gentle but firm tannins slightly dry the palate. There's a bit of heat on the finish that is fading with more time in the glass.

Obviously in a primary stage, but there's dense and elegant wine wrapped underneath a bow. Approachable now with some air, but the best of this wine is a couple years out.
