More Open than previous experience #seasmoke #botella #pinot

Solid. Probably needs food. Big fruit with some forest notes. Like it but don't love it.

Massive cola, eucalyptus and earth notes dominate. Lots of Indian spice on the nose. Tannin is supple but poignant. Finish is a blackberry and tobacco and chocolate flavor that is really enjoyable. Open the wine and don't drink for a minimum of 45 minutes. Needs time to clean itself up. If I rated at time of opening, it would have been in the low 80s.
