Plum fruit in a sophisticated blend with juniper, tar and earth. Still needs a bit of time to open up, but when it does it really shows it stuff! This has an interesting nose with juniper and eucalyptus and is dry on the palate. There is a really nice long full finish.

Still needs significant time to open up. Wine just started showing about 2 hours into the decant. Hefty wine but has come together nicely in the bottle over the past few years. 89 upon opening, 92++ after giving a significant decant. A longer decant would have done even more to help the wine open.

Like a campfire in a glass. Notes of basalt, dirt, rainier cherry, with a dry finish. Would pair well with any gamey meat!

I think this is coming down a bit. Still a nice deep dark rustic wine.
