Started out surprisingly tannic and scorchy, but with air it’s softening and the floral fruit is peeking out. But the time my braised rabbit arrives I’m hoping it will be shining.

UPDATE: 2 hours later, it’s much softer and more open. Raising from 8.9 to 9.0

First glass to dry and underdeveloped. Decanted for two hours and the wine is easy drinking. Smothe with a fruit bouquet that leaves you wanting another sip

Peppery in the beginning, mild for Pinot and quite nice after it breathes a little.
