April 19, 2024 - First check-in for this vintage. I also tasted the 2019 at around the same age. The fruit in the 2021, while certainly present, is more muted by comparison. I notice more acidity now than I remembered from before. The fruit note is predominantly a very pleasant sour cherry.
The nose is also more muted than I recall (but it is also allergy season, so take that for what you will). Floral-ish.
The mouthwatering finish is decently long.
Overall, this is a very pleasant glass of wine. It feels less approachable than the 2019, but then Thomas' wines have a reputation for needing lots of time to develop. I can't wait to see what this becomes!
(popped and poured; if things change significantly with air, I'll come back to update.)2 people found this helpful 847 views
