This was a cool experiment, as Sam and I shared this same vintage in 2015. It was too hot back then, and while it's still a little tannic for my tastes, it has mellowed considerably. It's held onto its notes of chicory and hot cinnamon but smoothed them out with tart cranberry.

I've always had good luck with HP so I'll just keep going with them. Fresh cherries and spice on the nose. Very...smelly. That's a good thing. Oak, berries, a dollop of funk, and smoke. Five spice and flowers hanging out there, as well. Good acid with some bite on the finish. This is a baby, baby wine and fresh is the word of the day.
