Should have listened to my gut. Way too early to open this. Had some diacetyl character that took an hour to blow off and was extremely primary at this age. Last glass was better and was starting to reveal notes besides just the brambly fruit but I feel I only got a slight glimpse at how epic this might be with some age.
