Seductive, complex, very feminine, come hither in the nose. Light mid palate, then looong.

2017 vintage. Punchy and unconsolidated like a younger sibling. Plenty of moments of great height afoot. Medium-heavy body. Not as well knit as I'd like given the year/age and da money. Flighty here, tangents there. Still, tasting the wine, the pedigree and quality are evident. 01.04.25.

This was something very special. It was definitely aged, but it had many layers to offer yet and started with great vigor and fruit. Shifted notes as it gained more air. What a journey!

Fruit-forward, typical of 2009. Delicious, balanced and ready-to-drink.
