Plum, cherry and some sort of brighter acidity. I'd let it rest a few more years.

Pitch black with a purple rim, completely shut down nose. After a few hours of aeration this was still a bit nervous. Bright acids, dark purple fruit and a touch of vanilla and black pepper. I like my VP on the younger side of the drinking window when the fruit is still powerful but already rounded out. My next bottle will be in 4-6 years. Opened too young in the muted/shut down phase. 93++
