Better for the time in the cellar, and not yet at its full potential. That said, this opens to fullness more quickly than 18 months ago, and the dark berries are corralled by earth and rocks. Not intense or extracted, but full of depth and complexity on a medium frame. And peaches. Don't forget the peaches.

Lots of dirt and rock beating up the blackberries in this bottle. Probably needs a bit more time in the bottle to let the tannins and acid integrate a bit more, but it’s super delicious now and I don’t regret opening this tonight.

New vintage, needs air and/or time in cellar. Every vintage of D&R is better than the last. Keep on rocking guys!
