The second 2022 Riesling in a week that was unmanageably reduced on the nose. Persistent moderate to high unpleasant egg aroma. Did not blow off with an hour in a decanter or even overnight.
I was surprised to find this extremely open and giving tonight. Time has really helped the oak integration and opened up a lovely box of woody spices to complement and freshen up Malbec’s tendency toward inkiness. Plenty of structure here still but accessible from the pop and pour. Very good and no rush.

Extreme eggy hydrogen sulfide aroma. Did not blow off with an hour in a decanter. Unpalatable.
