Rich, stewed dark fruit, pencil shavings and a long soft finish. This wine tasted like a 100+ dollar bottle. I am curious how many more years it will continue to develop. I had it decanted for just a hour before i lost self control and drank every drop and even then it was not losing its fruit.

Still very tight. Needs to be decanted for several hours before it opens up. Going to try again in another 6 months.
But right now I get tart cherry and spices

Earthiness and smokiness - flavor was a little tight. Needs to open up a bit before drinking. B+
