Opened and tasted over the course of about 2 hours. Initially very reductive with darker fruit underneath. With vigorous swirling a mix of red and blue fruit emerges, along with forest floor and hints of warm oak barrel. Good acidity and firm, young tannins indicated this will get better over the next 10 years.

Served BTG at Octavia. Nose is a bit reticent, showing cherries and a bit of dried herbs. Red cherry, more dried herbs, black tea, some earth, and a curiously strong mintiness on the palate. It is unusual, but I find it attractive. Medium finish with lightly grippy tannins. Ready for drinking now and a nice Santenay.
