Saturday, June 3, 2023 - Bought a half case of this at auction as part of my nebb experiment.
Popped and decanted. wine tasted about 90 minutes after opening.
Wine is turbid, bricked crimson. Not bright. Rim is not totally clear.
On nose, roses, earth, cherry, licorice, and a touch of barnyard.
On palate, wine is sound. Still a few degrees too cold at tasting (sorry - doing my best here). Medium-high acid, dry, still some grippy tannins, medium finish, roses really come across.
This is a nice wine but it's definitely a bit rustic and I do think it needs more time. I'd say the next bottle should be 2025 at the earliest.
