Monday, April 22, 2024 - [Tasted Double Blind] This pours medium ruby in the glass with no bricking. The nose shows red currant, hazelnut, a touch of eucalyptus, and rocky soil. The palate enters on very densely packed fruit leaning red, with quite a lot of freshness. Tannin is medium plus and a touch woody, with medium acid. The finish is clipped with some tar and protruding alcohol. All in all the red leaning fruit and absence of the traditional tobacco elements here had me guessing a very deep and structured burgundy with moderate age. In retrospect I really should have gone to Bordeaux with the structure. This is quite a nice bottle even if a tad atypical in my view.
