Monday, October 30, 2023 - Dark ruby to garnet
Med heavy body
Initial nose of red fruit hints of green pepper but after 30 min I was hit with the aroma of gardena and this pesisted and was very fun to smell
Palate well integrated tannin that can only be described as a velvety mouth feel, dark cherry and plum with a hint of eucalyptus rounds out mid palate and finish. This is a complex and well integrated wine. The fruit is lovely and well balanced but it is not a “fruit bomb”
I saved 2 oz on shoulders in fridge for 48 hrs. Although fruit is somewhat diminished it is still lovely. It ready to drink but don’t feel pressured. Kept in a temp and humidity controlled cellar this will keep for many more years
