Thursday, June 2, 2022 - Tasted over 2 hrs
-saturated med dark red
-exuberant sweet stem spice violets rhubarb faint maturity
-med/med- acidity, med/med- weight a bit diffuse with some faded though still quite sweet red fruit and notes of eucalyptus licorice and tar, med- tannins and a bit of sweet oak on the long finish
-nice marriage of ripe yet mature new world pinot fruit and stems and well-integrated oak, overall works pretty well but the palate is not nearly as pretty balanced or complex as the aromatics; similar to a bottle 4 years ago but with less fruit
