Impromptu meet up at Classic!

Sweet oaked nose with brambly notes. Mainly red and black fruit but blueberries poke through. Licorice, plum, and the dustiness shows toward the back of the palate. This needed a decant because after 2hrs of air, THEN the power of BTK came through. Geez. No green/vegetal notes here from this powerhouse vineyard CabFranc. Very cool bottle from
