Vision of J 2004

A very dark wine, pitch black. But as the other vintages will show there is something even darker than pitch. The tannins are really thick, hard, while the mouthfeel has devastating boldness due to its headiness and irrepressible fruit. The aroma is balsamic, spicy, mushroom-like and continues to play on dark, unsettled notes. It’s hard to believe but I’d say this vintage is still not ready, it has yet to fully reveal its’ immense potential. Needless to say, it is already very good but it can still improve. A Vision of J needs many years to come of age.
