Like an elite Crozes crossed with a St. Joseph. What a nose. Kinky! Huge olive, smoked meats, high toned pastille, Wood-shop shavings, violets and meat. Stunning aromatic purity. Juicy and engaging with terrific freshness and acidity. Dusty tannins and terrific inner mouth aromas. Very structured and needs time to unwind. Slamming. 18 hours later it’s insane. Gorgeous inner mouth perfume and the tannins have melted. 9.3 to 9.4.
