A bit on the soft side at this point. Don’t age much longer. Tasty though.

Rather different from my last btl. Five hours or so air. Much more mineral, with loads of crushed stone and red berry. Lovely hi-toned acid on the palate; crushed red raspberry, attenuated tannin on the finish. Nose is better than the palate.

Sep 17th, 2021Opened yesterday; on the counter overnight. On the nose: loads of loads of red fruit, toasty sandalwood, a touch of hi-toned va, and spices. On the palate: excellent hi-toned acidity, good density, wild strawberry, sour plum, some tannic bitterness..transitioning into finely grained tannins. Better than my last btl.

Mar 8th, 2021Not bad. On the nose: dusty red fruit, soft wet leaf, raspberry...fairly generic. On the palate: good acidity, dense red fruit and spice, nice density, but still fairly simple. On the finish: very soft coarsely grained tannin.
I'm surprised how different these are than the Lutum wines...I've really enjoyed Lutum wines, and this was a disappointment.

Light and sultry, perfumed nose, intense mineral flavor, very well balanced! Will keep a look out for this!
