Popped and did a quick double decant to separate the sediment. Nose gradually opening to show beautifully pure dark cherry fruit, cedar notes, and wet clay earthiness. In the mouth it’s got good flavor intensity, and the texture is fairly soft and friendly for a ‘19 right-banker, which I’ve generally found to be a little burly so far in their youth. Could benefit from a few more years but definitely enjoyable now. Ridiculous value.
