Still learning to give notes but here’s what I’ve got so far…
Opened with Durand and it could not have gone better. Cork came out easy in 1 piece with just minimal flaking.
Open: Nose of blueberry and strawberry. Pale garnet in color. Long, rigid tears. Still lots of silky smooth tannins, feels like it could easily do another 5-10 years on the bottle. Medium body with a medium to medium-long finish. Tasting notes matched the scent notes.
30 minutes: Nose of chocolate, cedar lumber, wet rocks and some red fruit. Tasting notes of Dixon Ticonderoga #2 pencil, dirt and cigar/tobacco. About to grill up steaks, will update again soon with a score but, spoiler alert, it’s going to be high.

Beautiful wine.
Excellent description. I love when you start to pick up on the graphite/pencil shavings
