This is drinking perfect right now, minimal tannins but classical structure. Will peg the remaining bottles to drink in 2025. 45 minutes decanting: Classic dark berry nose, pepper on tongue, and beautiful linger. 30 minutes after first described: the spice has died almost completely down and now having a very jammy end, different and filling vs “I want to have another sip.” Still drinking nicely but definitely at peak now, don’t cellar longer than 2025!
