Blind. Brought by Rey to tonight's event. One hour slow ox beforehand.
Dark ruby in the glass. Nose of vanilla and red fruit and almost cotton candy.
Palate displays a soft mouthfeel, which I did not expect from this young wine. Increased acid and tannins on the back end....as it gets more air over 2-3 hours of slow ox, it actually gets sweeter but the acidity and tannins back off a bit. Maybe this one just needs more time?
