Wednesday, December 20, 2023 - It’s been almost 4 years since my last bottle of this. Perfect cork and fill. Pop and pour, drunk over 4 hours and then finished the next day after a night in the fridge.
Dark red to rim. Takes 2 hours to open in the glass. Dark fruits, berries, smoke, tar, tiny hint of VA. Medium-full body, layers of very ripe fruit, coats the palate, a touch of sweetness. Decent balance and pleasantly grippy tannins, a bit on the low acid side, long finish. Dialed back from the 2005 St Ems I’ve been opening recently (e.g. not raisiny or pruney) but still very modern style. Still young, no aged complexity. I think this one has a shot to get there. Excellent.
