Sunday, April 30, 2017 - En magnum. Dry cork broke off about 3/4
Of the way then slipped down the neck...
Nonetheless with a double decant this was truly spectacular juice. Nose of perfume and leather, with resolved and sweet tannins, and plenty of red and black fruit still. Incredible mouth feel with mild acidity that brought everything into balance. I think this is perfect to drink now and I don't think it will get better or worse for several years. Only complaint is that the finish was maybe a little short. Especially because I kept wanting more of the deliciousness.
