  If you drink from this lot, at this time, I urge you to aerate it very well. A layer of encouraging but objectionable reduction can be removed by a little back-and-forth decanting. Or do as I’ve done and let the pour rest in a hot apartment for an hour while you type the preamble to a blog post. Also, it’s best at 60°F. NOSE: thick, molten black currants garnished with minty, breeze-blown laundry. With ever more aeration, crayons give way to pencils. Retral grilled lamb, chervil, and mink. This is an assertive aromatic event. MOUTH: a dry, comfortable fabric holds tar, licorice, salted blackberries, black currants, and coriander. It’s a substantial textile, held high by photosynthetic determination. Savory stitches the fruit in such a way to cause neutral dryness, driven neither by acid nor tannin; it allows the undulating texture to hold attention. Wait until November to drink this, then enjoy it until 2024. 90+ points.
