Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - Slightly backward still, even after 3 hours of air in decanter. Lovely nose; structured build with above-average purity and focus. Acids and tannins still dominating at this point, with the balance of power not likely to shift much over the next 5 years. Classic, understated. Conversely, not one that the fruit forward crowd could ever get excited about. Hold for 5-8 years, drink over the following decade plus. 14,0% abv, recommended, served non-blind.
update: absolutely perfect on night # 3, after two nights in the fridge.
