I remember having this wine in 2017 and realizing this wasn’t even close to be ready. Still angular. Tonight, while not at its peak, still really good. Best in 5-7 years.

The fruits are ripe, lush, ruby; blackberries, black plum pudding, black raspberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries,raspberries, some boysenberries with raspberry hues. Velvet, dark, meaty tannins. Dark Asian & Indian spices, dark chocolate cooking bar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanillin, dry crushed rocks, dry top soil, notes of dry herbs & eucalyptus, black tarriness, black licorice to anise, crushed limestone & grey volcanics, dry tobacco, dry barrel shavings to cedar, dark, purple florals framed in violets & lavender, excellent acidity, finish for days that still shows some tension, excellent structure, balanced fruit and earth wire to wire elegance. Pushes 94 really hard.

In all fairness this bottle had been open a couple of days so it might have been better on day one. A friend shared party leftovers… — 3 months ago
