Limpid ruby-red. Spice-laced red and blue fruit and floral aromas pick up a smoky nuance with air. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering vibrant raspberry and blueberry along with subtle rhubarb and floral pastille notes. The clinging, gently sweet finish shows very good clarity and smooth tannins. 25% new oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2020)

I ended up being impressed with this. Initially it was really funky. That blew off and it began to improve but seemed like it might have some trapped co2. Corked it up and the next day it was very good—fleshed out & with lots of dark fruit.
