Saturday, October 28, 2023 - Very pale color. Interesting nose of dried flowers and red fruit. Tannins fully resolved on the palate with raspberries and a finish that reminded me of rock candy but drying not sweet. Lovely and more than just a novelty bottle. I would not wait though . . . will drink my two remaining bottles in the next 2 years at most. Enjoyed with tonnato and tartare and crispy fried shallots, but could work with salmon or other heartier fish. Fun and lovely. Needed a decant for sediment and got better after opening and recorking and then splash decanting.
