23 last night and 22 tonight. Gorgeous and man 22 is KINKY. This is such a seductive vintage. My favorite “warm” vintage ever. Nose is a punch in the face. Outrageous dark cherry and black cherry fruit. Like insane. So pure. So vivid. Just insane. Ridiculous. So dense. 9.7 nose. I said what I said. Gorgeous dustiness underneath it all. But my god the nose fruit purity is blowing my mind. Palate is LIGHTS OUT but needs air. Juicy and deep but dominated by tannins but the attack gives it teeth. Wow. Finish is clipped but I believe in this wine and it will deliver as 23 needed 3-6 hours and this will as well.
