Monday, December 4, 2023 - A bit of spritz on the pop. A bit of a whiff that made me fear mouse taint, but this blew off rather than grew. Plum and raspberry, herb and ash. Pretty ephemeral with taut tannin to go with a bit of chrunchy crispness on the palate. Plenty of energy if a bit thin. 89+
Gained strength over the following day. More depth of fruit, more nuance and close knit, more integrated tannin, more rounded out. 90 with a small plus upside for middle term cellaring
