Dark garnet with a brick rim..on the nose deep funk.. low tide at the seashore. Spice very little fruit On the palate tart cherry, tar, earth, high acidity with medium body and texture after sitting about 20 minutes fresh strrawberries. Finish is medium long One of the more complex wines ive had this year multilayered, evolving and imho improving as it waits for the next sip.. world class. Years to go with this.. should have bought more...

More twang on the tongue than The Mother Label. Finishes very muted and open. Doesn't possess the snuff to be aged ... will only lose its uniqueness IMO. [*edit* definitely lost its oomph on nights 2 and 3.] This is leagues better than the inaugural '17 vintage - which I found nearly undrinkable; hopefully the upward trend continues.

Pnp with pizza. A little funky, juicy fruity, some nice savory compexity. Thinner than previous vintages but maybe because we didn’t give it much time in the glass.
I couldn’t detect much nose beyond Rocks funk. Palate began pleasant enough but unremarkable. After half an hour it opened up nicely with a medium to full body, good balance, and enjoyable finish. Should give it more time after opening.

Very savory, reductive nose. Opened up a bit, I may be a half an hour. Some cherry, black and blue fruit. Some smoke and savory notes. Very little tannin, but good acidity. The only thing that got me was there was a slightly stringent note on the finish that I didn’t notice in the 2018. Otherwise the swine is a great value And represents all that I love about tires/no girls wines at an early drinking bottle
