Tuesday, March 15, 2022 - So far this is hitting on every cylinder. Uncorked an hour ago. A bit reticent at first but let the glass sit for 30 min.
A couple of swirls and some lovely cigar box appeared. Great color on the wine. First sip revealed bright acidity, some red fruit and a bit of graphite. Resolved tannins but still great weight and some structure. Certainly my kind of wine. Although did fall off just a tad over a few hours open. Went down so easily though. I had no problem finishing the bottle which is rare for me. Had figured I would save one glass for the next day. I believe I would have preferred this 5-7 years ago. Final score of 95+pts I think
