Subtle vanilla, that opened up later into the dinner, and grapefruit. A medium weight more on the zesty, rather than buttery side. Citrus on the finish, a nice food wine, but not buttery enough for scallops…

Bright, sweet red fruits, black fruit and spices hit you right away. A bold, powerful, youthful body (California sun can bring youthfulness to 113 year-old vines?)(It does for my old bones.) The finish ends in a more savory, very black fruited profile. Immensely pleasing, but not over the top.

Red and blue fruits, lots of tertiary flavors -juniper, forest floor, olives, a little raisin. As previously experienced, after 45 minutes - quite thin in the body (it did fill out somewhat several hours later) Stronger and very balanced on the finish. Nice minerality.
