Friday, September 15, 2023 - Splash decant, very good fruit forward with silky tannins. Saved half for Day 2 - it went south; had a metallic taste that took 90 minutes to dissipate. 94/93

Both parents take turns sitting on the egg and then watching over their baby for about 4-5 months before they fly off. They return to the same spot, within 10 yards, every year repeating the birth. We see about 20-30 if these annually. As adults they have a 6-7 foot wingspan. I’ve almost been clocked in the head by one flying too close several times while putting.
