Tuesday, February 1, 2022 - Contrary to the pundits, this is a young wine. 4 hour slo ox, one hour decant, and it could have used more, as the wine unfolded in the glass. Dark red, wonderful nose of red and dark fruits, a whiff of brett which blew off prior to drinking. Multiple secondary notes, balance and still present sweet tannins. Smooth mouthfeel. Plenty of fruit and tannin to see this for a good long while. Long finish. A joy to drink.
