Tonight I finished the magnum originally opened in January that had been sitting on my kitchen counter since. Cocoa, marzipan, candied orange peel, fig vinegar, molasses, and so much more. This hasn't lost a step in the nearly 4 months it has been open.
From a magnum I opened six weeks ago (see my 1/25/24 TN) and has been sitting on my kitchen counter ever since (cork re-inserted), revisited occasionally since. Nothing has faded since. I could cut-and-paste. This might have gotten ever-so-slightly sweeter over the 6 weeks.
Agrees with others. Consumed over a few weeks. Multidimensional, layered, complex, structured. Hits all the right places when it comes to a wine with complexity. Signature flavors include toasted coco, resin, caramel, black molasses. Hints of citrus. A real treat.

The Roots Fund Charity Wine Dinner (Atelier - Chicago IL): Magnum. So much here- caramel, fig, dark chocolate, orange peel, Marcona almonds, and lots more. Very good length, persistent finish. A great wine.

So nice … notes of chocolate and molasses .. so thick and velvety get syrupy.
Curious to try next to the 64 to compare …
