Initially, a bit muted. But after a few minutes the dark fruit comes through. We’ll see if, like the ‘16, it needs some air time to shine. As expected, 3 hours later, wine is singing. Tannins soft, gorgeous black fruit, silky mouthfeel. Nice finish.

May 14th, 2024Give it some time to open up and this wine will sing! Gorgeous black fruit aroma. Blackberry, dark plum, dark fruit, dark chocolate, graphite. Solid structure, will age for a couple more decades for sure. But this wine is drinking very well, though I may lay my other bottles for another couple years at least. Wonderful wine! Favia always so good!
