Quick decant. Nose of candied raspberries, smoked meats, tulips, and salami. Quick river of raspberry and brig cherry starts the palate, adding smoked ham, juniper berry, clove, minerals and a tart note. Resolved tannins with a more dilute red fruit and watermelon flavors, with damp sage, tarragon, and light garrigue. This wine is singing!

Splash decant, although likely not needed. Rocks Funk with rich blackberry fruit, espresso, cacao, and dusty black tea tannins. Really enjoyable, and drinking quite well. Drink now - 2032.

Sort of sour with funky bretty pepper, rich and slight creaminess, elevated alcohol. Liked this the day before when still tight and closed. Brett took over today. Paul Sherman Blind Tasting

Oops, opened by mistake, thought it was MCK. Nice, needs more time. Tannic, black pepper, spice. I think this would be a good one over a decade or more. But perfectly fine now with a steak or similar fatty meat!

P&P at July 4th BBQ. Consistent with prior notes; this wine is singing!
