Saturday, April 22, 2023 - WOW. At first open, it’s a ton of date oxidation but that quickly blows off and was hitting its stride about an hour in.
Dinner was crafted around the wine - chicken thighs with green olives, olive brine, artichokes, and an appropriate amount of poached garlic. Absolutely perfect pairing. Didn’t see green olive as a tasting note, but that would be more appropriate than black. Briny and incredible.
At an hour and a half, hard to believe this baby is twenty years old. It’s extraordinary. First Jasmin experience and I don’t expect it will be my last.
