Black pepper, tannins, meaty savory — 8 years ago
Hugely reduced out of the gates. Wow huge sulfur. Palate is red fruited, silky and so supple. Needs mega mega air. Wow what a nose now with air. Olive explosion. feral, meaty, charcuterie and so classic. Palate is so fresh, energetic and silky. So so supple. Amazing purity. Nose still not quite there but it’s going to get there. So silky and such refined tannins. Substantial but refined. Amazing presence. — 3 months ago

Nose has vanilla extract. Wild mint, herbs, red currant fruits, spice, granite tinged throughout. Insane palate of tiny berrt fruit explosion. Unreal finesse. So long and incredible. More soon. — 3 months ago
