Smoked, peppered venison with tobacco and black cherries. Silky smooth with well balanced acid with transitions into well integrated tannin. Cherry and red currant linger on the finish. This opened up significantly over an hour. Give this decant and enjoy over the next few years.

At PnP a brambley forest floor followed by licorice, white pepper and something herbal.

A bit tannic, but nice bright fruit with a touch of old world. Beautiful pairing with a mushroom tart.

Very approachable but I still think it is too young
Not yet revealing all it will be
Enjoyed with filet mignon watching the amazing Warriors comeback

Opens up after 45 min. But too much acid.
