Splash decanted, and enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2018 pours a deep ruby color with a touch of purple and a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with lovely notes of black plum, blackberries, purple flowers, green Thai chilis, dry organic earth and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is silky. Beautiful. Drink now with patience and through 2043.
