Color holding up well, the faintest brown and very little sediment in the bottle.
Plumb, vanilla, and bourbon on the nose.
Sour cherry, cassis, and wow, I dunno…something reminiscent of a fall leaf pile. Dry Forrest floor if that makes sense. Tons of structure and a crazy long mineral finish.

The nose is absolutely spectacular - rich plum, pencil shavings, leather
Sadly, things go downhill from there. Sour cherry and off-season strawberries…just a little weirdly tight, but not overly tannic or acidic.
