January 29, 2024 - What a surprise! This was such a wonderful bottle that seemed to be at peak. N: Big fruit, but a mix of red and dark fruit with a pronounced blueberry pie note. P: More decadent blueberry pie with icing and spice. F: Long and one of the most balanced wines I've ever had. The big fruit had the perfect amount of acidic lift with velvety tannin. This was ready to drink right on the pnp, but didn't lose a step after being opened a couple hours. Absolutely wonderful and has plenty of life left.
