2019 vintage. Last tasted 12.22.25 (9.2). On the list for $85 and popped for the staff at the end of the night for the usual Saturday Slurp. Medium/medium-heavy body. Spices more of a drive-by vs front and center now. Getting rounder. Getting softer. Tannins dwindling. The ever-present frontal palate richness stretching the legs and corrupting the mid palate now too. Really pleasant food or solo matchup. Harmonious and giving. 6.27.26.
