May 19, 2023 - 13x Pinot Greatness: Tasted double blind. I’m a bit puzzled by the wine, on one hand, it definitely seemed too early as it showed muted. On the other hand I guessed it too be much older with some tertiary notes already there. Will it age probebrly? 92/93pts.
TN: The nose is muted with some dark berry notes and some tertiary notes shining through. On the palate this is dense, dark and muscular. Quite intese but mostly just ripe dark fruit and some minerality. With time better, more open with some toasty notes adding to the complexity but overall it remained a bit muted and with still quite a muscular structure.
Decanting: My guess is that this needs at least 2-3 hours in the decanter.1,208 views
