Top Notes For

9.1

Took a while to open up but once it did it was very nice. Dark berries and blueberries with some noticeable acid and tannins. Could be laid down for many more years.

Delicious red currant and spice on the nose, and good amount of acid making it pretty juicy. Needed at least an hour to really open up.
