2017 vintage. Last tasted 6.1.22 with same score. Perfume of fennel, Chambord, lavender, ripe dark plum and dusty bookshelf. Moonless, winter night color. Medium-heavy body. Gamey and mineralesque but otherwise, clean on the finish. A very light Reposado tequila pop up flavoring approx 45 seconds after savoring the finish. No, haven’t had any tequila in months. 10.30.23.

Sheeeit. Damn this is good.
Nose: pencil shavings
Palate is blackberry and this ever so enticing licorice. So good. Sleek texture.
Very polished in a somewhat modern way.

2017 vintage. Huge bacon fat nose early on. Pleasant structure. Medium heavy bod. Plenty of fruit/spices for composition. Tannins available but only on request.
