Russ brought it to steamboat. High concentration and a bit of oak and extraction. A bit low in acidity for super long aging imo but a few years will do it good.

Clear translucent ruby. Smelled red fruit, orange peel, sandalwood, and undergrowth; the taste leaned more toward cherry and mushroom. Very integrated from the get-go, yet also improving somewhat in the glass. Good concentration with silky mouthfeel, fine acidity and lightly drying tannin that lingers along with the fruity medium-plus finish. If any $50+ bottle could be called a "value buy" I reckon it's this. Excellent stuff.

Still pretty tight but excellent concentration. Dark cherries, very good length, worth aging a few to see how they mature.
Score: 92-93. Relative to expectations: ++

Black fruit dominant. Balanced and smooth.
