I am sure this will benefit from some aging but is certainly approachable now.

The tannin profile is soft, dry & fine with spice & dry herbs. Ripe, juicy; cherries, strawberries blackberries & raspberries. Bubble gum hues, blood orange, charred rhubarb notes, some tea to black tea, hard cherry candy, sweet, dark spice, dry tobacco notes, sandstone, mid black fruit licorice & cola. Red and pink roses with greens, excellent acidity, well made, balanced, nicely tensioned finish that lasts two-minutes and falls on spice and dry barrel shavings.
From the very good 2019 vintage and will require aging. 5-8 years before seeing more integration & further benefits.
