Wednesday, May 2, 2018 - Another wonderful expression of RRV fruit by this up and coming producer.
Very tight after opening with a muted nose of dark fruit, tea, and rose petal.
After 2 hours of decanting the wine opens up to a beautiful mouthful of dark cherry, raspberry and a hint of cranberry. There are subtleties of spice, licorice and a obvious pepper. It is fruit driven and not shy!
Although quite tannic for a PN, once is melts away the wine has wonderful balance. Do yourself a favor and let it breathe!
If you can cellar it, 2021 will be optimal.
