Tuesday, April 27, 2021 - Appearance - clear, medium plus ruby
Nose - clean, youthful, medium plus intensity, with air getting lots more alcohol burn - listed as 12.5 which seems low. Feel it on eyes. Ripe black cherry, ripe blueberries. Vanilla sweetness, green pepper.
Palate - medium plus body, bloody, acidity is medium, tannins are medium and only surface after you swallow. Notes are bright red and black berries. More red on palate than broody nose. Black pepper. Finish is long. A bit tingly to beckon you for next sip. Balanced. Getting some Italian herbs.
Air has helped here. Feels like this has more to give and will emerge with air.
