2018 vintage. Rich and precocious with some barely discernible, yet viable, acidity/tannic structure beneath. Could be a while (7-10 years +) before the fruity and flirtatious ripe side dwindles enough to fall into anticipated, bean counter territory. Great now but much like licking the chocolate off the hand blender beaters before the cake comes out of the oven. Sweet, furtive and short-term satisfaction vs complete, shared and unified. Sometimes, you just gotta lick those beaters but try try try to give it your best attempt(s) to hold for at least a decade. 3.8.23.
