It feels a little backwards to say it, but - for me at least - aged wine has got to have something youthful about it to really hit the spot. This does that masterfully with a swirl of red and blue fruit at its core. That fruit is framed by leather, earth, tobacco, umami, chocolate, spice, herby green-ness, and so much more. Old and new. Big and pretty. Robust and stylish. This is a wine that walks the line; intricate and intriguing from start to finish. Most importantly, though: utterly delightful to sit and sip on. Bravo.
