Wednesday, February 28, 2024 - Just wow! Purchased on release for $21. Cellared sine. No ullage. Cork crumbled on removal. Decanted through a neutral paper coffee filter. Moderate amount of fine dregs left behind. Deep magenta color. Intoxicating, heavy, slightly smokey black fruit nose. Palate filling fruit driven with earthy flavors in the mouth. Long finish in the forward to mid-palate. There was a glass leftover (and it was in the glass) and I had it with lunch the next day. Every bit as good as it was last night. This still has a ways to go. Wish I had more. Score might be conservative. Best wine for drinking pleasure I've had in recent memory and that includes a recent Dunn vertical tasting hosted by Mike Dunn.
