Held up pretty well, but Bret conquered in the end. Still had some nice earthiness, spice, hint of fruit and tobacco. The acid kept it alive. Interesting wine.

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes and 2 hours. Massive, heavy color and body. Currently monolithic. Solid wall of dark plum. Revisit in a half-decade or give it an agitated decant and let sit for 4-5 hours. 4.17.26.
