Verry impressive. I did not know what to expect because of the year. This vintage was the fire year, and the wine showed no hints of that at all. Approachable, and ready to drink today. Cheers

30 minutes in the glass before drinking. Very very deep bright magenta color. Blueberry, dark raspberry, wild strawberry, and subtle sage. Smooth , dry palate, with granular acidity. Firm tannins on the longish finish.
Not bad for the vintage, but red-fruited, which is common for ‘20. Tasted at Salvestrin. They poured almost exclusively poor vintages (2022, 2020, and 2011). Nice property, but among the worst tasting experiences I’ve had in the past 5 years.
Like every Salvestrin CS, this was excellent. Probably not their best effort, but it was a challenging year as well. Decanted for two hours. Nice aroma, and dark fruit. Rich, and dry, but the tannins were a tad rough. A few more years will help.
