2018 vintage. Massive and overwhelming überripe summer blackberry nose and flavors throughout. Blackberry influence thins out somewhat; replaced by blueberries on the finish. Plenty of raw bacon and menthol flitting about. Equipped with a long, aging cork…was curious about this wine but it’s clearly much too much too soon in the game to tap this. Body initially massive but (d)evolved to sport a polished, nearly pinot-styled weighting after thirty minutes of air time. Need to buy three bottles and revisit in 5, 15 and 30 years. Priorities…
