Everything that Huff said. This is a fun wine but needs a long decant to blow off the ETOH. Decanted for approximately 30 minutes. Needed more air. Nose was tight but the blueberry/blackberry preserves became more prevalent with time. A very big wine with lots going on but all the parts are not quite fully integrated. This wine should continue to improve with another 2-3 years of cellaring.

Nose: chocolate, roses, crushed blackberry, dusty, stoney, tobacco, earl grey tea, also slight smoke or bacon. Taste: chocolate, vanilla, tea, green olive, cedar. Finish: for sure the best of the three Delectus wines: French Wedding, Boulder Falls, and this...more acid and structure, a bit tart still where other too Vineyard designates less so I think indicating others more ready to drink. Also most age worthy I bet given acid. More integrated tannins. Pretty sweet tannins underneath the still tart finish.

No noticeable flaws on the nose. But on the palate was a different story. Pretty nasty.
