Tuesday, December 5, 2023 - A truly profound wine with immense layers and thought provoking intricacies. It has this dark brooding quality without being overly extracted. And then it has this high toned floral peppery thing going on that is just absolutely beautiful.
It's almost hard to identify a fruit in this wine because there's so many savory and floral and herbal things going on but at its foundation I would say it's kind of a black currant or marionberry.
Then you've got stacks and layers of puzzling and esoteric aromas. Hard to put a finger on. But ultimately the overarching theme of this wine is beauty and finesse. There's flowers and perfume and the reminiscent smells of a baking pie and all other manner of pleasant, memory-inducing delights.
The structure is balanced the tannins are supple the acid is bright but not overbearing so all the structural components of the wine are right where they need to be.
In the end it's really just about what a special and unique wine this is and how much you feel like, when you're drinking it, you are having a peak experience with wine and it just kind of doesn't get much better than this.
