Big wine, dry, not tons of fruit but very well structured. Nose or crushed stones and white pepper, grape nuts. Black fruit like mulberry and elderberry, some leather and dark chocolate. Mostly secondary still, needs more time to develop. 91+

Opened to breathe for 2h. Some heat, oak, and spices on the nose, baking spices too. On the palate we have there is abundant juicy red fruit, oak, and some acid to balance in the finish. Very tasty tonight paired with spicy sushi rolls.

Time to drink, but showing well. Savory notes on top of dry red & dark berry fruits. Good dustty-soil mouth feel with those fruits. Hint of heat early on the finish eventually blew off to leave the tart acid the primary focus of a medium finish

This bottle showed a bit more open and developed than the last one. Solid.

Drinking great right now after a 1 hour decant. Smooth, med to full body, great balance with the fruit and other flavors.
