Big flavor. Fruit (plum?) in a good way not jammy. A little earthy and spice notes. Enjoyed it with Christmas in January β 2 years ago
So when I opened the bottle 6 hours ago it exploded behind the cork with some fruit and a cedar forest. Then in the first 2 hours it disappeared. Totally dead. Now it has completely evolved. Smells of light fruit plums and cherry, dark chocolate, forest, a bit of violets. Smelling this after chewing lamb was wonderful. Palate is even better. AmaIbg balance of fruit, tannin, acid. Cassie, dried cherries, fresh wood, berries, a tiny, tiny hint of cream. Just wonderful. Worth every penny. Now almost 8 hours and itβs more herbs, sage, raspberries, thanksgiving stuffing with savory spices. β 3 years ago
