Saturday, June 10, 2023 - Lovely; at peak
The wine at present displays a fantastic balance between primary and tertiary qualities. The nose on opening was completely earthy—wet soil, wet leaves, rainy autumn day in the forest, etc. With air, there emerged stewed plums, strawberries, raspberries, and pepper. The palate showed very similar qualities—but with lighter touches of red fruit—with enough tannic grip and depth to indicate this wine still has time at its peak.
