Monday, September 5, 2022 - First night: this was so tight, i returned the decanted bottle to the bottle, corked and put in fridge.
Second night: Interesting and evolving nose of mulberies, spicy black raspberries and a little wood spice. Not particularly expressive on the palate, but this is dense and heavy and brooding. There's a layered feeling to the substantial tannin. Having so little experience with this varietal, I'm just not sure how this will age. This is certainly a serious wine, but will it ever come into its own? 91+?
