And then there was a glorious one. 1 over the hill, two Ok and this one singing. My all time favorite wine in an ok year.

The last bottle from the superb list at Manresa. I can’t believe it’s 03. There’s absolutely zero heat and its elegance is just off the charts. After 2 hours in the decanter is when it morphs into a magical zone with dazzling complexity and stunning aromatics of sweet raspberry jam, red flowers, garrigue, incense and minerals that come at you in waves and leap from the glass. The palate is full of layers with a liquid cashmere texture that just floats on the palate with weightless intensity and a finish for dayzzz. One of the great wines of the world.

Bday wines. Fun night. 1995 Rayas right in prime drinking window. Roulot was WOTN for some. My fave was the 2015 Masseto. No apologies for drinking this so young as it’s incredible. Have a few laid down to see how it evolves.
