Epic vintage that is just starting to open up. Accessible but a lot more complexity should develop with time, based on the secondary characteristics that started to show with air

Lovely and soft and open knit. Fleshy soft fruit with raspberry and strawberry. Some dense spicey notes on a lush, soft finish. Delicious and very approachable.
