February 16, 2024 - Fairest Creatures and Where to Find Them (K&L Wine Merchant - Redwood City): Nose: Quiet, dark blue fruits, brisk passing by of earth, and light twigs.
Palate: Surprisingly fresh dark red and black fruits, a hint of bright blueberries, savory minerals, and deep gentle earth. Love the freshness here. There is a bit of heat on the midpalate but that might be due to youth. Went quite well with an aged rib eye, as it took away any kinda harshness in the wine.
At this age, protein will help. This bottling tonight reminded me of a sprinter that tripped after the starting pistol in a track and field competition. It took some time to get back up and shake it off, but it still performed well. Don’t open yet, give it ~2-4 years before trying one. I felt like this wasn't showing its true colors just yet. 96-97+2 people found this helpful 951 views
