Tuesday, July 4, 2023 - This bottle benefited from a very long slow-ox. On opening, it was disjointed and in fact I set it to the side overnight, but over 12 hours really came around and after 24 is excellent. Just a closed bottle, one glass consumed, loosely recorded and left in a cool, dark spot..
Deeply colored, with a nose showing black raspberry, hints of menthol, black-olive tapenade. On the palate, full flavored and tart, rich, soft tannins, ends on an agreeably bitter note that complements food very well.
