October 28, 2013 - Pure power and grace. So much substance here, but it's essentially a soft wine with floral/perfume notes scattered between savory and fruity punctuations. I'm glad I hung onto this wine for this long, as it's very giving and open, even within 15 minutes of pulling the cork. There's still some bright acidity and freshness, but I can't see this wine really getting better than it is right now. I was saving it for a special occasion, but that just turned into "screw Mondays", and I couldn't be happier with that decision. Drink this wine if you have any left...it's starting to show some bricking at the edges, and is wonderful now.
