Wednesday, November 27, 2019 - Definite bucket list wine for me, thanks to the awesome King James for the taste. Incredible depth, reminiscent of good old classed growth Bordeaux, but perhaps better in some ways. Lots of complex dried black fruit but enough fresh fruit to keep you searching. Immense spice complexity in the mid, white and green, still showing lots of life left. Tannins are still present and coating but utterly balanced by that acidity, very fine grained in complexion and no drying on the palate. Definitely a strong savory pork fat character underpinning the palate throughout. An exquisite wine, and one perhaps worth the premium considering the complicated and time consuming wine making process VS is known for. One of the top wines of the world, no question. Gonna go find a newer vintage to lose at the bottom of my cellar.
