After less than 1/2 hr decanting, already showing beautifully. Deep, rich, silky tannins. Ripe fruit with a tart finish. Drink Em if you’ve got em!

Tart cherry, plum, savory herbal and olive. Ripe and vintage appropriate, but still rooted with firm tannin and linear acidity. Tough vintage for longevity but strong on drinkability.

Nice old world charm with some sweet oak n a touch of fruit. A bit tannic still needs more time.
