  PnD let air for 3.5hrs.
  
  Ripe on the nose with oak influences black fruits licorice tomato and mineral notes.
  
  Ripe on the palate with a slam of acidity to keep it fresh with plum kirsch and macerated cherry with a touch of a floral note.
  
  Medium(+) finish. Very good. Drink now suitable for further ageing. Delicious and intriguing.

  Pale ruby, beautiful nose of crunchy red fruits, tomato leaf, cherry. Palate has high acid, medium tannins, and an earthy base note. Excellent balance and quality. Like a cross between Burgundy and Barolo. What’s not to love? An absurd qpr at $10 though that was close out price... A good deal even at $18 — this drinks like $30-40.
