92 Points

Sunday, October 15, 2023 - 2 hr decant. Oak barrel, pine and dewy meadow on the nose. The palate has really softened over the last hour (one hour decant) with the wood and acids less prominent than they were. Heavy on the fruit which shows tart bing cherry, blackberry, charred barrel.

Much better than my last tasting a year plus ago when the fruit was more muted than vibrant, this clearly has a long runway but is well balanced in this early phase of its drinking window.

Will try to hold off another 9 to 12 months before tapping another bottle and concur that this should drink to 2034, maybe longer. Conveniently reinforces my 18 bottle purchase from last weeks offering.
