Sunday, May 21, 2023 - 5/22/23 Sunday. Soft cork broke in half. Deeply stained end I typically see in other grape varieties. No bouquet as of yet. Soft wine but not played out. But offset by nice mouth feel earth and some kind of mushroom scent in glass. Magenta color, almost dirty is the word that comes to mind. Lighter at rim. Not deeply colored but also not indicative of a weaker wine. This is the Finn signature flavor. Expected a little more flavor from fruit, but wine into secondary flavors. Having with charcuterie of my own making. CT currently has this at the end of its life but this is wonderfully evolved, and the signature Finn flavor is now coming out with almost one hours glass time.
This wine needs time to open up. Once it does it reveals its essential flavors.
Next day the wine was softer and didn't hold up like I hoped. The Finn flavors were present very nicely day me but receded day two. In my experience most single vineyard pinots last at least ten years and peak but not this one. The secondary flavors however were decent and true to the Finn pedigree. Not the best Finn showing but worth consuming upon opening. Drink now.
