Friday, February 8, 2019 - Probably the oldest En Cerise I've had. Still, it developed rather slowly on day 1, where the nose was the star of the show by the end of the night. The palate showed reticent Cayuse funk; this offering is the least brooding amongst its stable of syrah sisters. Day 2 brought out the iodine & ash, and I could tell by the end of the bottle it was about to reverse course & head downhill. Lovely wine, but drink them now.
