Tons of red fruit, spices and pepper. Very approachable soon after decanting. Drink them by 2022.

14’ Dammit, this is so good. Decant for 30 minutes. No rough edges. Simply delicious!

Lighter bodied, fleshy and vibrant. Fun with some bbq chicken and charred filet mignon. Alpine maple like tones with a reduced, resinous jelly like component. Really well tuned black pepper and black plum like fruit. Bright acid 💦, wild blueberry with a forest floor and apple skin like tartness to the lengthy finish. Complexity is off the charts, Doug, we thank you.
