    Really gets gong after a 7 hour decant. Great nose of chestnut, hazelnut, rose petals, raspberry, Indian spice and earth. It really sweetens up further in the glass and has jube-like fruit and a touch of licorice. Structure is still rock solid and there’s a fresh, tart whip of red fruits on the finish.

Thanks for the note. I’ve been enjoying 79s lately. Most in a pretty good spot for drinking.
