On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, the youths (mostly college)! Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading one operatic work from WAGNER (Die Walküre, Act I). This is our WAGNER weekend with the BSO, Acts II & III will be performed tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Color was so dark orange when I decanted it, I was actually concerned about the integrity of this bottle. But, the nose proved otherwise, still showing acidity and sweetness through this oxidative stage.

Bruised and oxidized red apple, new shower curtain 😋, honey, honey, honey, wet flint, partially dried herbs, fresh apricot skin, dried apricot. Super long finish, evolving constantly in the glass. Decanted ~3 hours.
