  The nose on this is WILD. Tobacco, dry cherry, cut wood, mushroom, leather, smoke. It doesn’t really smell like wine anymore. The palate is very very smoky, in a good way. Like smoked meat off a pitmaster’s pit. At the same time it is light and elegant but the fruit is mostly gone. I’m not sure I could drink a whole bottle (well I could but look at how expensive it is) but a glass would be nice. 10ml was not really enough. Very interesting wine.

  Dad: usually wine does not meet the story… in this case it exceeded all expectations

  Bottle vertical for 15 hours. Opened 9am. Poured tasting glass to follow during the day. Slow’ox for 9 hours. Surprised how dark the color was. Medium dark brick red color, edge orange’ish. Beautiful clear color at start, some sediment in the last glass. Stood for 15min to blow off before first sip of tasting glass. Nose of mature red fruit, cigars, leather, very nice. Palate was mature cherries, mature red fruit, leather, cigarbox, very nice balance and integration. Few tanins are still present. Smooth palate and mouth feel. Very nice and pleasent. Drank over 4 hours. Not done at all. Fantastic.

  FWG Lunch with Gaia Gaja (Ai Fiori Restaurant in the Langham Place Hotel, NYC): [Double-decanted at 10am.] Muted nose of mulch and red fruit. Complex sour cherries and balsam. Gorgeous.
