Tuesday, September 11, 2018 - On opening, tight, cool and restrained but everything is there in near perfect balance. juicy tart vibrant acid.
after 2 hours it opened up a little. mute automatically but the weight was very satisfying. spicy and oaky.
long life ahead. very pleasant for a wine that is at least a decade from hitting its stride.
... enjoyed second half of the bottle a night later. Far more powerful and not as reserved. Intense concentrated black fruit graphite nose. Spicy ... sandalwood? Tannic and mouthfilling. Very concentrated. Long life ahead. Fresh.
