Saturday, July 2, 2022 - The fifth vintage of this wine which I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying since the 1999 vintage. Impeccable winemaking, with the ability to age for 20+ years. Youthful even at six years. Always leads with a dark loamy, slightly sour soil entry, followed by juicy blackberry, ripe black cherry; crunchy black plum, dark chocolate, black coffee, herbal tea, and sweet baking spices. Displays the perfect balance of black fruits, soft tannins, integrated sweet oak, and medium acidity. Perfect accompaniment to grilled ribeye; grilled asparagus, and whole mushrooms. Finishes focused and long. Can drink now with hearty food and decanting, but this might drink well for another 15+ years. World class and quite impressive. A personal favorite, equal to Don Melchior, Sena, and Clos Apalta.
