7/10/2022 - lespapilles Likes this wine:
First bottle of three, bought directly from the winery this year.

No detailed notes — in summary, drinks like a opulent Bordeaux in early maturity. Opened and allowed to slow-ox for a couple hours before drinking, this consistently improved with air. Initial samples on opening were a little lifeless, but within an hour or two, the bottle was rocking.

I see no reason to think that bottles with good provenance will be on the decline any time soon, but when bottles are singing like this one was, why wait?

Brett, brett, brett. And some fine tannin.

Sweet, alcoholic, disjointed.

Scored charitably on the merits of good body and concentration, but not my bag.
