When I first opened the bottle I was concerned it would not open until dinner was over.. After an hour in the decanter, the tell tale Vatan signs of weight, balance and spearmint began to emerge. Truly strutting it’s stuff at the 2 plus hour mark.

Super young and tense. Yellow and green inflected citrus, pepper grass, ginger honey, musk, very mineral. Layered, dry and clean. Nowhere near ready to drink but it is so beautiful.

Not quite as good as the last bottle but still delicious. Anise on the nose and a ton of life ahead.

Wow! Quite a baby but absolutely gorgeous. A truly special wine that I was hesitant about because of all the hype but this was very good. Great balance, tons of weight on the mid-palate and fennel on the nose.

Big and rich, layered and meaty. Ripe, yet delicate citrus, melon rind, and prominent pyrazine. Round but vivacious.
