First birth year wine (with bf that bought it for my 40th). Savory, starts broad and focuses in while lingering on what seems eternally. Hope to see this one again!

This is a 43 year old wine that Ric Forman made! Great color. Needed maybe 10 minutes for the pretty cheer fruit to emerge! Great acidity still. A Treat๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘
