Friday, April 7, 2023 - Method: bottle in fridge 30 minutes prior to opening; pop and pour; Cab glass
Look: medium slightly muddy garnet-ruby with faint bricking
Nose: bell pepper, cigar box, light forest floor, dried cherry, dried raspberry, pencil shavings; great, serious, nose
Palate: dried cherry, underripe blackberry, graphite; long finish of graphite, minerals, light forest floor, pencil shavings; dry; medium body; medium+ very fine tannin; medium+ acidity
Overall thoughts: Great, complex and serious nose. Somewhat mature on the palate with more dried fruit and nice earthy note, along with serious, but welcomed structure from really nice, fine tannins. 91 - 92 points. Great wine.
