Give this 3 hours. Decant it. Shake it. Swirl it. It's velvet yet somehow it rips your teeth out. The best $80 Cali wine you'll ever have.

Show stopper. I'm floored. Grip. Tight like a rope. Thoroughly delicious now, but maybe even better in a decade?

The uncoupling (or at least recalibration) of the physiological ripeness-sugar ripeness linkup is a cool thing to behold.
