Thursday, March 21, 2019 - P&P, swirled a bit for some air. Like many of Clark’s wines, this is extremely expressive on the nose, very aeromatic with ripe fruit, spice and a bit of oaky perfume that I would not mind just savoring indefinitely. This is a wine that I breathe in before I sip every time I lift the glass.
Color is dark purple but with some transparency. It looks a bit thin but doesn’t taste that way.
Wonderfully smooth and balanced, with a long finish that hangs on until it’s time for the next sip.
I really like this and can’t wait to see how it’s changed on night two. I think this will probably continue to evolve over the next couple of years but it’s drinking beautifully now in my book.

On night two, having been corked with wine preserver, the wine was still good but not as good as night one. I was eating spaghetti bolognese, usually a dish that brings out good things in red wine, and it was really enjoyable but maybe a couple points less than night one. The aromatics were far less pronounced, which was disappointing only because they were so amazing the first night. When I open the next bottle, I will endeavor to do so with another person or two so that we can finish it in one sitting.
