dsamuel Likes this wine: 92 points
March 10, 2019 - Cork completely disintegrated making decanting difficult
Dark garnet color with extensive bricking noted
Medium(+) aromas with persistent black fruit evident but with dominant secondary/ tertiary aromas of menthol/ earth/ leather as well
Full palate which echoes aromas
Moderate persistent tannins remain present and medium length
This wine is really drinking well presently - would drink soon however1,963 views

3/11/19, 1:35 AM - Your note sounds exactly like the bottle I pulled a year ago, so perhaps this is holding steady right now. Mine was purchased at release and well-cellared, and perhaps was showing a bit more fruit - though the tertiary notes were well evident. I'm going got err on the side of caution with my remaining bottle, though, and drink in the next year or so.
