Saturday, April 16, 2022 - Believe it or not, this is drinking very nicely now from a 375ml with a several hour decant and followed over 2 nights. Not overly sweet, comes across almost like a high octane late harvest California Zin, but in a good way. At first, all dark/dried fruits like plum/blackberry/prune/raisin, then lots (!) of licorice and molasses. Tannins not insanely drying, this feels gently extracted. Minerality (slate) comes through on day two, as do the floral qualities. Of course this is a wine to age for a few decades, but wanted to crack one early in the name of science, and it was both a hedonistic and intellectual pleasure. Rating: 94+
