deep hue
comes across with a concentrated fruit that is tart and sappy. It has a density and weight that to me suggests it will age but would be best with food.

1/15/21, 1:23 PM - The note was night 1 (2 glassses over an hour and half)
I nitrogen sprayed bottle, corked it and returned upright to my cellar
Night 2 was very much the same....no decline, no evolution
I feel this bodes well for the wine
My next bottle I hope to recall this and decant about 3 hours first and follow it from there but it is fine with food. I feel though I have a strong preference for acidity and minerality in wine and not for flouncy plush wines and this is definitely in the first camp.
