Needed a quick decant... and after an hour plus this was beautiful. Solid structure without being overly tannic. Earth in balance with the fruit. And a memorable finish.

Definitely quite a bit fruit forward. More tobacco leaf with oregano and rosemary on the mid-palate. Finishes with black cherry, red licorice, tobacco, and stiff oak barrel tannin. I'd be surprised if this one lasted 10 years in the future, but I can definitely see the benefits of holding for 3 to 5 years here.
