Still tightly wound when first opened. After 15 minutes a little lemon and briar showed. After an hour the pear and lemon we at the forefront. However the flavors were pretty angular and not well integrated. This needs more time but may always be less elegant.

Showing nicely now with lots of earthiness. Held up over three days and faded on the fourth so I didn’t remember as much, but it still has time to continue showing well.

Started off with bright raspberry notes on the nose and a hint of earth on the palate. However it was much too tart to be enjoyable so I put the top back on and opened a different wine
On the second day the there was more raspberry sweetness and the mid palate filled out with more funk, but still too tart.
On the third day it was much better balanced but most of the flavors had faded too. Don’t know if I had an off bottle?
