Upon first tasting, this wine wasn't giving up a thing. Really tight. But after an hour or two of air and multiple other pours being taken, this finally started to open up and show something. That said, drink this quick or be prepared to wait a while before revisiting as if not shut down, it is getting there quickly. Deep ruby in color. The nose has black cherries with rocks and dust. With air a bit of a floral note. On the palate, this is almost jammy but not quite with black cherry fruit. A nice minerality underneath. It is delicious and only going to get better from here. It needs plenty of time though.
