This is starting to come around. Maybe still a little dumb phase yet, but I think this is going to fantastic. No notes on this bottle since I have 8 more bottles to age!

Initially it was a nose full of bramble and a ton of limestone and tannin on the palate. Wow. With more air the fruit started to take a back seat to the cocoa and earth notes. Finish remained long. We'll see how this is a day or two later.
Day 2, this has totally integrated. Tannins and chalkiness are still there, but balanced by fruit and earth. The cocoa note that was so strong yesterday (although maybe food-induced) was largely absent. Delicious.

Gets better as it breathes. Initially leather and tobacco that dissipates the longer it's open, then the dark berry fruit started to show up!
