Sunday, April 17, 2016 - Lighter body, low concentration but there is real elegance and balance to it. Strong earthy notes -- graphite, cedar, mushroom, good hint of blackberry but not a fruity wine. No cassis or licorice. Tannins are nearly fully integrated. Before the decant it felt like there was no structure at all but it gained its footings after a 2 hour decant. Decent long finish. Not grippy but lingers with nice acidity nonetheless. This is not really memorable but perfectly enjoyable. Almost too easy to drink for a wine of such pedigree.
