Wednesday, February 14, 2024 - This wine took 5 minutes to open up in the glass (no decant.) Outstanding medium-medium plus intensity, fresh aromas of sweet rose, bright cherry and hibiscus. The aromas continue as flavors on this elegant, medium weight palate. Tannins have faded and are only on the low side of medium plus while acid is still present but not overtly sour. Finish is pleasant, with fruit and acid, but length is a bit short. I think it’s hard to find a wine with tannins this resolved that maintains this level of fresh aromas at this price point. The slight bitterness and sourness on the palate might detract a bit from this wine if enjoyed without food, but overall, this is an excellent wine at this price.
