Saturday, October 1, 2022 - Method: decanted for 45 minutes; Grassl Cru
Nose: cherry, cherry cola, forest floor, Asian spice, cedar, raw white mushroom
Palate: dark cherry, cranberry, baking spice; long finish of cedar, tree bark, light black pepper; dry; low+ very fine tannin; medium+ acidity
Overall thoughts: This wine is so expressive and quite concentrated, but it's wonderfully put together -- it's seamless; nothing seems out of place. A bit more complexity on the nose than palate, but sufficient complexity on the palate. This is an excellent wine that I think still has upside! 95 - 96 points.
