Red raspberry, red cherry, earth and spice notes on the nose. Medium bodied (13.6% ABV) with a mix of red cherry and red raspberry, both upfront and through the middle. But it's also a mix of more rounded, more open notes from both of those fruit notes alongside brighter, slightly more tart versions. Really kicked the complexity up a notch. Good density through the middle and very good balance. Tart red cherry and red berries come in on the backside along with fine grained tannins, acidity and minerals. This wine is in a great spot currently with excellent fruit, well balanced with structure and contrast. Drink over the next 2+ years to enjoy it at this high level.

Opened, poured into a decanter and tasted with food. Saved 1/4 bottle under Vacu-vin and tasted day two. Ruby color. Big floral nose with some Pinot funk (wet earth and spice) and some dried orange peel. Beautiful red fruit with an earthy bass note and spice on the backend. Delicious.

Decanted and drank over a few hours. Rusty bright red in the glass. Expressive nose of baking spice, cola, dried herbs,
On the palate, medium bodied, very silky, tart and sweet red fruit, spice, bit of heat. Medium finish of mushroom, tart fruit, stems.
Overall showing very nicely right now. Great wine.
