Friday, October 6, 2023 - Prior bottle was 18 months ago and this wine continues to show quite well. Black cherry, some black raspberry and cigarbox notes on the nose. Not quite as deeply aromatic as previously, but especially once i opens up, still quite pretty. Just above medium bodied, but gains noticeable depth and density through the middle. Flavor profile was quite similar to prior bottle with rounded black cherry upfront, adding some red cherry hints through the middle along with a touch of black raspberry before moving to plum. Fells a touch more open and expressive upfront and through the initial part of the mid-body. Retains balanced tannic structure on the backside as well as tart, mixed cherry, spices, earth and minerals. Perhaps not as lush as my prior bottle, but still feels like it can continue to evolve positively with more integration and expression in future years. Next bottle for me, Fall 2024.
