Top Notes For
After getting past the very strong tannins and high alcohol content, I guess itβs okay. I decanted for an hour but maybe it needs more time or maybe itβs too young. Kind of disappointed π

Dec 17th, 2019Massive as always with Orin Swifts wines and definitely needs a decant. Decanted for about 45 minutes. Tasted after initially opening and it is a bull in a China shop. Calmed down after the decant, black fruits vanilla licorice and some herbal flavors on the palate. Very good!
