Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.
Fresh and balanced. Though it’s not getting better, I think this is in a nice window. Lots of bay leaf, dried fig and cranberries and potpourri aromatics. There was also an herbal (slightly iron driven?) note here too. Great acidity on the palate with more red fruit and a hint of underripe black cherries, with clay and herbs.
