Thursday, September 24, 2020 - Out of the bottle was a bit closed and musty, but then opened up fantastically. soft pepper, savory notes, sauteed shrooms, mix of dried herbs, wet clay and earth, just a little old blackberry and black raspberry underneath, medium weight (esp. after the killer Ringland-- the contrast was stark but eventually they both easily sat nice together. Very complex and in good shape, with good depth and complexity. Earthy, tons of character, good lift, long. This is in a perfect place right now. I've had neser vintages which seemeed over-oaked, but this was completely integrated and showing very well. Amazing with the savory pork belly. At the Langham Hotel Terrace restaurant with Yarom and the gang.
