Drinking well now and still has some runway. Well-structured, tannins are quite present but integrated. Dark and opaque; blackberry, tart dried Montmorency cherries. PNP, will add more notes after it’s opened up.

Quick decant. Nose of forest floor, oak, and fresh sorrel. Blackberry and brambleberry fruit followed by a sheen of velvety dry blueberry and a touch of graphite. Finish shows slightly rubbery tannins with a long blackberry pie flavor and a final iron note. Perhaps the tannins could develop further but I'm not seeing a reason not to drink in the next few years.

Marked this down as missing over a year ago, glad I found it. Potent, structured, mineral, great savory complexity and depth. I remember it being a wall of structure when I tasted at the pickup party, but I grabbed some because the O&F Teldeschi Zin had been quite impressive. This is more rugged and structured, less elegant than the O&F bottle, but very good and with a long life ahead.
