Massive and complex. On opening it was some berries and gripping tannins. Let it sit for two days with cork in. Starting to open up on day 3. Still evolving. I get olive tapenade, crushed blackberries, wet wood, a bit of cherry, baking and savory spices. I’m guessing this needs many years to integrate and balance out. Will let you know in 2031!

After a few hours it was better but given the high amount of acidity and fruit I’m not sure it’ll get better. Reminds me of a good carbonic Grenache or other rhone varietal. Some olives in there as well. It’s good.
