Thursday, May 25, 2023 - So dark that the iPhone flashlight couldn’t shine through the wine; it’s midnight black, but shows a bit of cloudy crimson amidst the darkness. Graphite, dark blackberries, raspberries, and cocoa powder on the nose. Thick, unctuous texture, with a bit of tar, blackberry seeds, smoke, and cedar. Nuanced and delicious with a very long life ahead of it (unlike many of the 2009’s in my opinion, which have another decade of prime drinking). Pleasantly bitter chocolate berry finish that goes on forever. I would wait a decade or so before trying this again.
