hmmm... I think this may be shutting down... had on night one (with a four hour decant) and again on night two (gassed and fringed) and night four (same)... again, felt closed / closing??

not notes, but remember this being very very good over two nights... complex flavors riding alongside the fruit on night two... very 2016 I remember thinking
wow, this was really good... bound to get better with another 10-20 years of age, medium+ acidity for lift, dark red fruit with spice on the palate, great nose (which I rarely notice)... mmmm!! 2 hour minimum (longer is better) decant for sure at this age, wonder if / when shut down will occur

Outstanding balance of black and red fruit, rose water, rose petals and spice. Great texture and balance; refined, effeminate and approachable; multi dimension. Youthful tannins with harmony across the entire wine; for me outstanding! Built to last and expand

I served this in my wine course. Elegant understated but interesting nose that combines cherry with orange rind and some black pepper. Relatively light weight mouth. Great textural balance on the finish.
