  January 27, 2024 - Glassware: Grassl Cru
  Prep: Decant 4 hours on day 1, followed over 3 days
  
  Opened on BD15 Preview Day. Translucent ruby in color. Deep nose of red cherry, raspberry, potpourri, dusty/earthy minerals, and a touch of white smoke. On the palate the wine is bright and lively, with flavors of cherry, pomegranate, black raspberry, orange peel, and dried herbs. There is a subtle refined smokiness on the palate that nicely complements the soil mineral tones. Weightless, with fine tannins and fresh acidity to provide a nice frame for the wine.
  
  After a couple days in the fridge the wine has gained depth and body with more tannic grip. The richness and purity to the fresh red fruit on the palate is even more apparent today and is gorgeous. This still feels like it needs some air but is showing so well now. Clearly built for the cellar.
