Languid and not showing full expression right now. Sweet, sappy and full with a very dark fruit core and a marked savory side, but just very wound up right now.

This is substantially better now (Monday) than it was Friday night. Quite vivid and striking. The hollow mid palate from Friday is replaced by a warm brightness of fruit and silky mouthfeel. Serving suggestion: Decant 72 hours 😂
