January 2, 2024 - Two hour decant. Nearly opaque electric magenta color (with almost black core). Lush blackberry, black cherry, sugar plum, cinnamon maple scone, peony, orange rind, baker’s chocolate, and subtle butterscotch. Dry, satiny, slightly chalky, full bodied palate, with somewhat dusty acidity. Firm, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.
There’s some kind of bay leaf and/or slate deep in the background that keeps this less sweet-nosed than it sounds. Even so, this is a juicy, voluptuous, fruit forward beast. The ‘18 vintage made it a bit more serious than normal (in a good way).2 people found this helpful 1,596 views
