April 14, 2022 - Light ruby; high intensity aromatics, pure strawberries, slight mint/menthol; palate is light bodied, low but youthful tannins, tons of primary red fruit, strawberries, just a touch of sweetness to the fruit but without warmth/heat, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%); finish is medium-long. Exceptional balance, superb purity of fruit with some deeper complexity, maybe a touch of stems with the little bit of mint but not too much. Enjoyable now, but will likely age well too. 92-93+
Day 2: perhaps a bit more integrated, but honestly just seems young and full of potential. I think this needs 15 years to enter a lovely tertiary phase with some sous bois.1 person found this helpful 1,404 views
