This needs some air. At first it leans funky. With time the fruit comes forward, it fleshed out a bit and the funk. Good burst of acidity.

This is the VV which is only indicated by the heavier bottle and wax capsule. This was insane in its youth. Spicy nose. Leathery and meaty too. Starting to show secondary aromas. Bright and lively palate with good creamy texture. Stays balanced throughout. Floral and very pure, defined and vivid fruit. This has aged into a beauty.

Deep youthful nose, damson berry, spice , cherries, mint, resin, killer aromas. Floral. Wow. Closed palate, juicy and brooding. Needs air but perfectly balanced and all there.

Overnight it really got great. Score went up. Sweeter and more expressive. Great balance and precision.
