In the perfect place. Nose is all red cherries, some dark cherries, minerals and earth. So pretty and aromatic. Palate is ripe and juicy with knockout purity and freshness. So sappy and tannins are ripe but lithe and elegant. Just gorgeous. — 17 days ago

So killer. Needed something bombastic yet focused tonight. This did the trick. Gorgeous nose of butter, minerals, sweet wood, and wafting wet earth. Classic. Palate is rich with great amplitude and killer acids and just outrageous length. The length pushes this to 9.5. The terrific purity here allied with the length is pretty thrilling. It just grips your back palate and does not leave. — 7 months ago

Medium deep lemon yellow , touch of gold . Quite ripe citrus fruits , orange rind , peach , ripe rear, , honey . On the palate quite rich and round with a judicious amount of residual sugar , just balanced acidity and with the citrus , honied orange rind , peach notes from nose. Slightly heavy alcohol , quite intense with ok honied length . Misses a little freshness perhaps but should age quite well , possibly more interesting and less one dimensional in a few years . Drinkable now but will last well a further 10 years . — 10 months ago
