Sunday, March 24, 2024 - [Tasted Double Blind] This pours light garnet in the glass with medium plus bricking. The nose is of pipe tobacco, leather, dried red currants, dried red cherry, dried mint, wet soil, and a touch of autumn foliage. The palate enters on the bright and fresh red current with low tannin and medium acid. The finish shows just a touch green but nicely replays the pipe tobacco of the nose. For a bit here I wondered if this was from California or older but fro ma warmer vintage. Ultimately I settled on 80s Bordeaux but had trouble getting any more specific on it. Very nice wine and perhaps just not quite as good as my previous bottle.
