January 7, 2024 - Great wine here, although still extremely tightly wound even on day two.
Loads of minerality (slate), crunchy red fruit, but also a layer of darker riper fruit as well. Some floral (purple) and herbal top notes as well.
Palate has tightly wound tannins--fine grained but lots of grip. Great acid balance, bright, but not tart. Finish is good, but a touch hallower than the rest of the palate, which is really the only ding I can give this wine.
This has a ton of upside and could gain 1, 2, or even 3 points with a little more development. I love PGC wines, although I've only had a few in the last couple years. However, this is my favorite in recent memory. Bravo!832 views
