As this opens fucktastic brininess. — 14 days ago
Nose: dark and serious with major tobacco. Hints of vegetal tones. Lilacs as it opens.
Palate: still fresh. Tobacco. Dense dark berry fruit.
Like a lecture on Hegel. Very serious.
As this opens more delicious and less ungiving. Beautiful silky texture.
3 hours in getting crazy. Nose has these gorgeous dense florals. So complex. Pink roses. This is why we drink wine. Still so fresh on the palate. Long.

Nose: dark lilacs. Penetrating.
Palate: deep midseason cherries. Great grip. Sweet spice.
A remarkable job in a vintage the critics loved but was actually quite challenging (heat). The opposite of 18.

Glad to see I’m still right on 18 and the critics were still wrong.
Nose: intoxicating on open. Penetrating dried roses. Some pink rose. Mountain air. Wow.
Palate: such sweet fruit. Perfect t early season cherries. Liquid pink roses. Silky. A touch hot for me or I’d go higher.
Still bright. Can see no reason this will not age well.
