6/3/2021, 12:45:16 PM One of the benefits of returning to work in an office, of which there are few, is giving your wine a bloody good decant, 12 hours in some cases if opened before work 🤗 Not only does the wine unfold, relax beautifully, and express itself, it simply tastes better, anticipation, thirst, reward, all factors. Anyway, if you’ve not decanted a wine for 12 hours, definitely try it. Some wines can be unrecognisable afterwards. Mataro, Barossa Boy, Young Wisdom 2018 from a stellar vintage. Ancient vines, dry grown, small berries, super concentration on the nose, blackberry, plum, red cherry, dusty earth, woody spice, sweet rolling tobacco, and vanilla essence, very powerful, fills the room. The palate’s softened but the power is evident. Black fruit, blackberry and dark cherry, red liquorice, fresh violets, and lavender, graphite fine tannins, powerful but fine, beautiful finish, long. Super drinking here, the airing did wonders 🍷👌🏽🙏🏼
