Finally ready this one. Earlier bottles drunk between 2015 and 20 have been tight and reluctant to give pleasure, but now, cool balanced blackberry and leather, medium body, high acidity and soft tannins make for a pleasant surprise. Good qpr.

Dark berries, a light dose of oak, some herbs and spices, good acidity, round tannin with still a pleasant bite. Juicy wine with still a future of several years.

Alcova, WY 2023. Needed air. A little tightly wound on opening, not giving up much after a couple hours. Vacuum sealed and revisited night 2 when was thoroughly delightful. 1.5 L bottle. Drink now with extensive air or hold indefinitely.
