Tuesday, August 17, 2021 - deep young red color, on the nose roasted sweet red fruits, plums, on the palate a pretty and very ripe fruit- but also noticeable heat notes on the tail end, good long finish- though a bit hot overall, still tannic and in need of additional time to develop though I suspect that this- like many 03s- is going to be large and a bit monolithic, long-lasting for sure but at the expense of some of the usual nuance with age.
