What a sensual, hedonistic, celebratory wine this is. It’s the kind of wine that keeps pulling you back and demanding that you keep experiencing it. I had it with a cowboy ribeye done medium rare and the two were simply made for each other. Popped and poured and enjoyed over two hours, it just kept getting better. Black fruits and cocoa, no perceivable tannins, and a finish that was absolutely dry with no residual sugar. As our friend RMP might say, “a tour de force” in winemaking.
2017 - 2012 = 5 years.
And no tannins? None at all?
I said perceivable because I didn’t experience any tannic grip. But then, I had it with a prime ribeye, which certainly could have been a mitigating factor.
