Wednesday, January 26, 2022 - On pnp: Perfectly delicious! Deep garnet, crazy intense nose of bright cherries and black raspberry, same profile on the palate but nestled into an $$ luscious coughdrop. Medium-lowish acid, nice soft tannins present that perfectly draw out the finish.
Very very fresh w/ practically zero oxidized/stewed fruit in this bottle. Perfect condition. Clean and pure, but lacking the excitement and complexity that comes with a bit of wildness/funk. Maybe too easy going
Zero sediment
Quite different from my last 2002 (from same purchase/source) which was more advanced and exhibited lots of stewed/maderized fruit, cough syrup and licorice... but more acid
