Saturday, November 25, 2023 - A Rhône Rapture (K&L Wine Merchant - San Francisco): Vibrant nose of fresh red fruits, with dried earth, light green stems and aromatic red flowers.
Still fresh red fruits, dry in style, with woody twigs and dried earth. Hard for me to pick up any kind of smoked meats. Amazingly fresh and youthful, and even pleasant to taste now, but this could still easily use another 10 years with probably almost little effect to its youthful character. I would love to see how this is though with proper age.
Might be my inexperience with both the region and producer, but this was STUPID young. Call me Sway. Thank goodness though, a friend who worked at the shop schooled me in that the producer leaves it in the bottle and constantly tops it off, which I think is what keeps this wine so damn fresh and young. I am so curious to see how this is with like 25 years of age.
