Dec 25th, 2023Nose has ripe black cherry, menthol, few day old chocolate cake, blueberry jam and old cigar box. Initially alcohol makes itself known, but diminishing with air.
Palate has dried blackberries, dehydrated sweet cherry, over-ripe black cherry, dark chocolate covered espresso beans, faint cedar with medium tannins, long finish. A great wine but more air desired as improvements are noted.
Decanted 2H, then double-decant for service; notes at 4H open.
Second bottle of almost a case of old BV GdL from a very trusted local source, no disappointing. Many more bottles to go on this stellar vintage. 😉
A great paring to Ribeye from Allen Bros. topped with truffle butter.

It just kept building length, clarity and precision. Eucalyptus, sage, dark cherry and tobacco. Very impressive. Performed far better than expected. Many years left.

Beautiful color, still dark. Berry, earthy/forest nose. Plenty of tannins for its age, smooth clean finish
