93 Points

Saturday, February 17, 2024 - Decanted for air, but there was a little sediment too. Lovely wine in a nice place if still wanting a few layers that age will certainly bring. Dark fruit veiled by graphite and spiciness. Glad I have more in the cellar. The texture stole the show. Silky without being too soft, firm and structured without being awkward. Tense yet full. Good concentration. Had with pizza and salads and while it might have paired better with something more substantial, overall worked well. Want to wait a while on the next bottle.
