Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - An explosion of aromas confirm that this wine is still amazingly youthful. Violets and hibiscus, ripe and jammy fruits - ripe red cherries, blackberries, jammy blueberries and raspberries. Also a potting soil earthiness. Blockbuster wine - the palate replays all the same fruit flavors and a dash of brightness from macerated raspberries, and a glycerine coating. Alcohol is high and totally in balance. Some coconut/macaroon, anise, and sweet mint. Tannins are still present, portending some more life to come. Everything comes together in harmony.
