Had some initial aromas of dirt and barnyard that needed to blow off. Decanted for about 30 minutes. Nose of ample blue and black berry, along with earth and wet wood. Palate was similar, berry up front that trailed off into some earth and then the tannins come in on the back end, along with the acid. Short(ish) window to drink after the initial 30 minute decant, maybe 2 hours max before fruit fades and tannins take over.

Definitely needed to vent for some time before drinking. Had cork problem and needed to strain but simple age was why.

Shockingly young. Tannins are mild, but otherwise the fruit is big and forward. Plenty of earth, a bit of funk, and a long life ahead of it.

Aromas of blue and black berry, with some cedar and dried fruit. Matching flavor, good acid and tannin.
