This is in a great spot right now and poised to stay there for a while. Beautiful notes of oak, cherry, herbs, spices on both the nose and palate. Tannins and acid both substantial, and needed to balance out the alcohol. But it all comes together in a powerful harmony. Give it some air and pair it with something robust (steak in this particular case).

This was horrible straight out of the bottle. After standing for about 2 hours it improved considerably, with concentrated tannins and a good fruit body.

NY Wine Experience 2022; 10/20/2022-10/23/2022 (Marriott Marquis): Verve and energy, lots of fruit, maybe a bit of the balsamic, hints of drying tannin at the end. This is a wine designed for the hedonist palate.
