Sunday, May 17, 2015 - Popped and poured. Dark garnet, purple rim, fine suspended sediment. Could be a north Rhone wine on the nose - dark fruit aromatics with a spicy note. Round, supple attack. Building slowly to a fine dark fruit mid-palate. Fine drying tannins and some spicy oak in the background. Moderate final.
Good complexity and balance. Drinking nicely now and probably unlikely to gain much with additional cellaring. Still - no hurry to finish these - I'd expect they can easily make it another 2-3 years. Best with food - paired very well with fresh pesto.
