I thought I would like this more based on other reviews that I read. I don’t know if it just needs more time or a day or two of being open at this stage. Felt very primary/young and not showing much besides fruit.

Another great 2nd. Rich and dark in the glass, the nose is fresh but earthy with floral notes, coffee and dark fruit. Palate evolves over a couple of hours, opening into a great blend of stewed fruit, spice, almond, sour cherries and baking spice. Tannins are firm but acidity is in check and there is a nice medium length finish which has a little tart sweetness. Very enjoyable and plenty of unexpected complexity.
