Friday, December 25, 2020 - From a perfect bottle purchased on release, this wine had a red center with light red/orange rims. The high- intensity nose offered up rhubarb, sandalwood spice, black cherries, and minerals.
I the mouth, the wine was light and lush with rounded tannin and firm acidity. It had a huge flavor impact but was still relatively weightless in the mouth. This was running in the 93 range in the second and third hours. It moved to the next level in hour 4.
This may not please fans of heavy, rich wines. However, it was high-toned, attractive, and great with food. I doubt this will get better, so enjoy!
