My wife and I learned that we’re expecting our first child, so I thought that this was a fitting bottle for me to celebrate with. No decant, PnP into the Zalto Bordeaux.
Nose: pepper, clove, red fruit, cedar, graphite, increasing perfume and floral aromas as time went on and the wine opened up.
Palate: Fresh, medium-bodied, tannins in a reasonable state. Berries, graphite, milky cocoa, and light smokiness. Super long and present.
Lovely wine overall. Probably could have waited a few years, but the time felt right. Cheers!
