Stood up for 2 weeks. Decanted off fine sediment, which want much. Now 2 h after decant. Aromas of red and black cherries, bark, baking spices, and some sous bois. Medium body with excellent acids. Faint tannins. Nice finish of fresh and dried cherries, bark, sous bois and a hint forest floor. Complex and taking on ages characteristics. In a great spot now. This is lovely.

Almost tawny in the glass, aromas of Chinese 5 spice, salted plum, rose, dried red fruits and amaro, really complex and expressive, jumps out of the glass. Mouth follows, medium body, med+ acid, medium- tannins, well resolved. Finishes with a sweet, zippy mineral streak of acid. Really compelling stuff. Eyrie has a way with making these wines that just lay like a sheet of linen on your tongue, approachable now, or in 15+ years- no sharp angles, not heavy, not too light, alcohol in balance. Just what the doc ordered.

The earthy quality of this wine is pairing well with the beef and lentils stew we are having tonight.

Earthy, mineral forward with hints from the fruit. Very good. I purchased a couple extra to enjoy this year.
