May 2, 2020 - Opened and decanted an hour ahead of grilled pork loin. Dark violet-ruby color. Floral nose brings some funk and musty earth with cherry blossoms, grape hard candy, lavender, violets, and blackberry pie. The palate is round, deep, concentrated, and supple, bringing strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, rhubarb, black tea, and lingering candied cherry notes into a refined finish. Exceptional balance, precision, and depth. Sweeter style but good savory notes and minerality on the tail. Drink 2020-2028. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.
