Feeling fortunate and grateful. A friend brought this back from her trip to Paris as a gift. She was nervous and skeptical as it had sat around an 85°F apartment for a week.
Thrilling, really. From bouquet to finish. Scents of cranberry, blood orange, and spice waft from the glass. The palate gains muscle with air showing cherry, red currant, chalk, and clove with insane length and disciplined concentration. My only knock would be the wood tannin being slightly overpowering on the mid palate, but the finish dazzles with an endless echo of mushroom and earth.
Seemingly just hitting its peak, though it’s bound to stay here or improve for a decade or more. Great stuff.
