Thursday, May 12, 2022 - intact. Nose is initially a bit shy, coming around with some air to emphasize mostly tertiary components; GRAPHITE, leather, saddle soap, damp earth. Very little fruit left.

Body and flavor intensity is initially a bit thin, but it does fill out somewhat with air. Tannins are mostly resolved. The fruit is nearly gone, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a lot to offer. The remaining fruit is mostly tart cranberry. More prominent are complex flavors of leather, cigar, soil, decaying leaves, and some mint on the finish.

This is a really nice wine, if aged wines are your thing. I’d recommend drinking this if you have it. It’s lovely now, but on the backslope.
