March 6, 2020 - The wine shows beautiful with a 3+ hour decant.
- In the first hour, Tight w/ firm (no .....very firm) Tannins. Almost no fruit
- In the third hour it was oh so viscous and creamy.
Blackberry fruit, iron, tobacco leaf and peppery on the palette. Mid palette reveals more of the same with emergence of mouth enveloping viscosity and some sulpher.
The finish is layered with flavors of shifting black fruits and cigar ash, and pepper and then back to cassis. Clearly acidic laden, the wine is built to age and at that give it 5 more years.3,091 views
