March 23, 2019 - Prior bottle was almost exactly a year ago and the wine has improved in that time. Nose remains red cherry and raspberry, with background notes of earth and floral qualities. Medium bodied with red cherry, backed with red raspberry upfront. Mid-body continues to add density and roundness and the backside still consists of tart red cherry and cranberry. What set this wine apart from the Clone 667 from last night was additional mid-body density, slightly better defined complexity, better integration on backside and into the finish and slightly more complete overall bottle. The mix of fruit, tartness and spice is just a touch prettier here. Given how well this is showing at present, I may be tempted to try my next bottle as soon as Q4 2019.
