Friday, December 10, 2021 - OMG chalky red magic! An absolutely stunning pop-and-pour performance. Fresh, floral, balanced, BDX-style and shockingly generous with its flavors straight out of the bottle. Kudos to the Kinsmans!

I am pro-long-decants and often aim for 2-12 hours depending on the vintage, sub-AVA, producer, etc., so I was shocked to find it so open so quickly. I drove with it for an hour so the vibration and movement pre-event may have helped.
