Blueberry pie filling with a little holiday spice, smoked meat, sweet pipe tobacco and hot fresh asphalt. Dense and soft like wading through pudding. Low acid, soft tannin and no energy.
This was to boring even to be bad, just forgettable and a terrible value. Ready to go, I guess.

This bottle was in a weird spot. Silky smooth texture with a nice richness, but noticeable alcohol heat on the nose and on the palate. The tannins were super polished, but seemed at odds with an acidity that wasn’t too much, per se, but not well integrated with the overall structure at this time. Very mouth drying. Not bad, but not what was expected. We won’t be opening another one for quite a while.

Really good right now. Wish we would’ve waited this long on the other bottles.

Dull and lifeless.

No formal note, this was a little out of sync, with the fruit not in step with the tannins, more cellar time might make a difference.
