Thursday, May 25, 2023 - Roasted… oak? walnut? Sweet iodine and small black berries, damp smoke and a general reserved feel. Notes of oyster shell, more roasted notes too. Prettier with air and showing notes of olive, raspberry, spicy oak, and graphite.

Light side of medium-bodied, feels like a ripe vintage there is a sense of coalescing to the core… good acidity, resolved tannins, sweet red notes, iodine, smoke and fire. There is a sweet succulence here and freshness.
Almost ethereal, iodine, plasters, roast (beef), molten liquorice… sweetness on palate. What a treat!
