Sunday, July 25, 2021 - First of three bottles.
Cork in excellent condition.
Not decanted but probably should have been.
Pale hue; especially considering the barrel fermentation.
At first, the oak was very present on the nose but with time it subsided.
Beautiful savory notes emerge including some pine notes, kumquat, white flowers, melon.
Very nice texture with just a gentle presence of oak, good acidity and freshness. Long, clean finish on the citrus side.
This still had substantial life left in it ( 5-10 years) Held up for 48 hours in open bottle. Not bad for a 19 year old wine...
