This is nothing short of brilliant. Lush, perfumery nose of dusky blackberries, black spicy plums and hints of sweet earth. Medium bodied. Some minerally texture, Incredibly elegant.

Deep copper color. Nose is metallic and orange pulp. Round in the mouth. You can feel the prescience of former tannins flitting about. Hints of thyme--- practically savory at this point (fascinating!). Minerally, with texture otf. A real treat to drink a historic wine (Gravner's first amphora vintage).

Was afraid it could be a little 'done' because the vintage was so challenging and so warm. Luckily, we caught it just before---beautifully integrated texture, mature notes of brown sugar, leather, dried flowers. So pleased it was showing well.
