Similar note to bestdamncab this needs a lot of air. Almost unpalatable on night one. Came back to it after leaving a solid week with a stopper in the wine fridge and it's considerably better. Nose is restrained with some red fruit and toffee notes. On the palate with a few days slow ox it shows some complexity and nice depth of fruit, strawberries and currants, dusty tannin still very present on the finish.

Deep ruby. Leather and pepper on the nose. Dry high acid medium alcohol blueberries and blackberries, long finish. Still drinking young, good structure, tannin is fairly well integrated. Drinking well, likely will get better.

Medium ruby. No bricking at all. Forest floor and stewed fruit on the nose. On the palate leather, strawberry fruit leather, black cherries. Still lively and fresh. Really nice showing, and it will be fun to check in on my other bottle in another decade or two.
