Tuesday, November 21, 2023 - 90 minute decant. Extremely deep ruby magenta color. Intense blackberry, cherry cola, tea, dark raspberry, coffee cake, and dried mushroom. Dry, satiny palate, with good acidity. Full, slightly rounded tannins on the long finish.
This has terrific structure for its age. It’s deep, somewhat rich, and just a touch syrupy. I cannot believe I’ve had 14 bottles over the past four years. I now have no more, but this is now just past it’s peak for my palate.

This hasn't been an easy wine to find on the secondary market. It's a little pricey coming direct from the winery, but this, and Shibumi Hills, have consistently been my TRB faves over the last year (I pulled one of those as well for tomorrow)
Cheers! enjoy the weekend in Naples
