Wonderful black currant and crunchy blackberry notes, with a bit of a hardened minerality streak that kept the delivery fairly linear and somewhat primary. There is definitely sophistication and…
Finished the bottle from multiple Coravin pours over the course of three months. The best showing of this wine, especially when given a couple of hours to air-out in the glass. A darker profile than…
