Tuesday, October 12, 2021 - good posts on this wine so far from a few years ago…
inky dark. viscous, almost oily as it clings to and stains the glass. nose is pungent, of wet leaves, asian spice, plum, rubber. strangely, all of these signs are misleading and don't entirely translate to the palate experience, which is lighter on its feet... bright acidity and quite mineral, gripping tannins take centre stage. there's some fruit but it's more savoury overall. am curious to see how this develops with age but i worry the fruit (that's left) won't last the course of the wine's development as we wait for the tannin to resolve in bottle.

ps more balanced on day2...tannins have retreated somewhat and more fruit is showing through.
