Drinking the tail end of another dinner here. Almost two decades old and a day opened, yet still so youthful and powerful. Soared in the glass with aromas of black fruits, violets, and forest floor, along with some nuanced meaty and chalky notes. Powerful palate with massive fruit saturation and sultry texture, yet still manages to retain great energy courtesy of an underlying mineral spine and fresh acidity. Honestly really alluring at this stage, but it still promises so much more with time. It just had this sense of coiled energy despite its many harmonious elements. What a wine!
