Deep RRV nose of black cherry and plum on the nose. Hints of vanilla and leather peek in on the attack. As it airs the umami creeps in and adds savory seasoning.
This is less precise than the '09 Cristom Marjorie earlier tonight, and richer. Unfurling with air, it fills in all the gaps. Spices and earth are more apparent and the acids are giving this a steeper pitch.
Air is this wines friend. Way too young, but glad I checked in. The others will sleep.
Thanks Ben. As expected. I won’t be visiting my bottles until 2017-18.
My mouth is swamped in black cherry and blackberry fruit. Its kind of hypnotic. On and on. Yes, too primary ; but so much fun. I love rochiolis! Let yours sleep, I took one for you.
