Sunday, October 13, 2019 - Given a 2 hour decant , this wine will start to reveal complex and developing aromas - a kaleidoscope of light as air violets, that dusty incense smell in an empty church, hints of leather, herbs - maybe fennel, cherries, chocolate coated raspberries, menthol. There is chewy acidity, and furry tannins , but the silky smooth mouthfeel carries you through to rich finish of cherries, ripe plums, chocolate , and a surprising quality of light , dry salinity. This is a wine of finesse and delicacy , already delicious with food , and will improve with a couple more years in the cellar. Exceptional value , and highly recommended!
