Very young. And tight at the open. Yet, there is a freshness that transcends the tightness. With time it opened up and was fresh and extraordinarily balanced. Lovely bottle. I probably won’t open another 23 for several years, but this was really nice and I look forward to seeing this one again. — a month ago

Wow, almost four years since my last bottle. Big wine! Tannins softened and chalky. Acidity still strong, yet still very balanced with just ripe dark fruit. Charcoal, pencils shavings, granite stone. Great mouthfeel. Long finish! Drinking better than my last bottle with many many years left. — 3 days ago

Absolute banger tonight with a big steak. Needs 45+min to really shine. Then it was singing. Perfectly in balance, just ripe black fruit, supple tannins, med acidity. Firing on all cylinders, this is what wine should be. — 16 hours ago
