Saturday, October 25, 2014 - Outstanding complexity with nuanced layers. An Original.
Every once in while the glass is filled with something that isn't simply another nice wine- even calling it wine belies what lies within.

The nose: While savoring the depths my daughter asks, "When are you going take a sip?" Honestly the nose alone is reason enough to seek this out.

Mouthfeel is extraordinary. Full yet weightless. Silky almost unnoticeable tannins, so well integrated from age and provenance.

Life cycle- 10 years old & I suspect this is just beginning to express itself. Any earlier and it was likely a jammy chewy mess. A crime to open. Given present vitality guessing 2024-2030 would be just insane.

Length, depth, vitality, balance and complexity.
Serious juice.

Not a party wine, this deserves contemplation and withstands intense examination.

3 hour bottle breathe, then decanted for another hour of air. Served with a grass-fed Porterhouse from Olivier's Butchery, mushroom risotto and sautéed spinach.
