Violet. Licorice. Carmelized red fruit. Sous bois. Smoke. Rendered bacon fat. Dried cork sped up the aging process. Still has acid to go for some time, but settled after a couple hours decanted. Limited length and structure.

Dec 3rd, 2022Im beginning to explore Burgundy. Medium indigo color. Bright red fruit on the nose. Smooth and light-med bodied. Cherry and strawberry, raspberry. Seems med-light tannic and acidic. Light minerality and earthiness. Pleasant and easy drinking. While in the glass I began to appreciate it more and more. Smooth and delicate.
