Happy Anniversary Sofia. Your favorite producer, Williams Selyem. Cortona in my dreams always. 🌹

Still a bit youngish but, good. Lighter, floral, dark cherries, both plums, blackberries, black raspberries, strawberries, purple fruit potpourri, pomegranate, mid, dark Asian spices, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, vanilla, steeped tea, semi-dry tobacco, some grilled meats - porkish, mid palate almost speaks to Chateauneuf-de-Pape, limestone & gray, mix of moist clay w/ grey, volcanic minerals, hints of pepper, sandalwood to barrel shavings, mixed berry licorice/cola, rainbow, mid to dark, red, floral bouquet, excellent, rain shower acidity, well knitted evolution, integration, well structured & tensioned, balanced fruit & earth with nice polish and an even, long finish that lasts minutes. ❤️

Slow to open then filled with incense, herbs, and subtle sour cherry.

Knowing that my Williams selyem shipment is around the corner, I thought I'd open this 14 up with family and friends. Took an hour to fully emerge but when it did we found classic sonoma county Pinot. Lovely wine and perfect with BBQ tri tip (Santa Maria style)

Definitely has what I'm learning to be is a classic WS fruit style, which I really enjoy. On the softer and more elegant side compared to their other offerings but pretty and balanced still hitting that super tasty factor if not overly complex. Nice to drink but another year would have gone a long way for more enjoyment I think.
