Monday, February 14, 2011 - I haven't had this in over a year and a half, and from memory, this is in a better place now than it was back then. And I enjoyed it back then!
More "together" and exquisitely balanced. Whereas earlier I thought of this as a food wine, it is now polished enough to stand very nicely on its own. Acidity has largely folded into the fruit. A bit more sense of sweetness than I recall from the May 2009 tasting, held in check by a subtle toastiness. Relatively full in body with a long finish.
