Stunning wine.
Reductive notes of sulfure at first that blew off after a 60min decant.
Fig, potpourri, coriander, cured meat, violet, and pepper to start that slowly evolved to a jalapeño/green pepper bite. At this point the wine started changing phases rapidly. A maple syrup, tomato, mint character took hold for a while that finally finished with pipe tobacco, pomegranate, and black tea.
A thrilling and exhilarating wine that punches way above its weight. True sophistication and elegance.
Long finish that lingers for seemingly ever. Medium body and light+ tannin.
