Youthful. Powerful. I got to this after it had been open an hour and it was starting to round in to form, but even then, it was gripping and tight. This epitomizes the dark end of the fruit spectrum...cassis, blackberry, blueberry, espresso/mocha, and high percentage dark chocolate covered dates. Unabashed authority in the way the fruit swirls all over. Oak is very apparent at this stage adding Mexican vanilla.

I should've open this last night!
Phenomenal but needs time.

Decanted at restaurant but drank it way too quickly. Oh well. This started off very slowly. The last couple ounces were starting to show well about 2 hrs in.

Celebrating 3 years with my wife demands stellar wines. Dancing Hares has been one of my favorites for a long time. The depth and complexity intermingled with the suave and elegant nature of this wine is highly seductive 🤤 I love this wine.

It is Andy Anderson who is the wine maker and Tuck Beckstoffer bought the winery! It is my first time and my wine broker Matt introduced me to this awesome wine. It is a must try and decant for at least a couple hours
