95 Points

Monday, September 18, 2023 - 45 minute standing aeration.
Bit murky, medium garnet, medium+ meniscus high viscosity
N - Clove. Definitely more savory than fruity at this stage. Black currant, blackberry, hint of cherry, chalk, licorice, mint and green herbs.
Palate settled more on the second glass.
Black currant, blackberry, licorice with a bit of chalk.
My conclusion is that there is no need to wait this long.
Dry, med+ body, Medium acid, fine/med tannins, pretty long finish but not super long, with less complexity on the P compared to the nose.
Still not sure how they make it this smooth year in and out.
