Nose is very expressive with tar, roses and big time cherries and also cherry flower. Minerals and wood shavings. Clay? Gorgeous wild mint and major road tar. Really complex and expressive nose. Palate is juicy and clean. Elegant and compact. Lovely intensity but never heavy. Good concentration. Nice velvety tannins and very grippy. Long finish. Could use a few more years but wanted to check in. With air this has gotten so lovely. Sweet, silky, velvety and lovely mid season cherry attack. Amazingly pure and balanced. 9.3 to 9.4.

Nose is plum and plum flower. Spice. Clove Lovely.

Palate is such juicy succulent fruit. Plum and cherry. Lovely spice. Elite quazzolo deliciousness. Grippy tannins.

Much more on the elegant side than the 16 which was a force of nature.
