Thursday, March 26, 2020 - Pop and pour. Drunk over a couple hours

PSA: Hedonists run away as fast as you can.

A deep and slow to unfurl nose of dark pinot fruit, iron, earth, moss, wild game notes, and some subtle violet/ florals. With more air time the fruit becomes more open both on the nose and palate, and then after an hour on a half or so, the ferrous, meaty notes come to the fore. Mid to fully bodied for pinot with a firm structure and a chiseled, limestone-soil driven, savory, and ferrous side that is beautifully complimented by the fruit and mossy herbal components. There is depth and focus, and while certainly on the soil and savory side, it has excellent fruit and a sense of harmony. Power with grace. A youthfully outstanding cohesive wine that is simultaneously precise, powerful, and poised. Delicious, serious wine drinking at early peak.
