Friday, January 20, 2023 - Warm and wholesome nose consisting of cooked raspberry/blueberry, date, fresh boiled red beans, hojicha tea, camellia flower/seed/oil, iron, and a touch of animal funk or balsamic sauce. Massive amount of ripe/round/extroverted tannin - having very low center of gravity but waxy, velvety and smooth. Music analogy - Yo-Yo Ma (a crowd pleaser with rich bright sound with big showy vivrato, but not totally lacking serious depth). Dog analogy by my wife - Golden Retriever. Ripe, gentle, and hedonistic - I was expecting tighter/closed style from other people’s review but my bottle was not (at least when paired with spicy Nepali foods and served in a big Burgundy glass).
