Lovely nose of licorice, plum and wild mint. Ripe and very expressive. Terrific aromas. Bright and lifted and expansive. Lovely layers and dustiness. Palate is juicy and bright but it seems to have some heat sticking out and it’s disjointed. Maybe it will come together?

It did not come together.

Gorgeous nose. Ripe berries, smoke, raspberry, some flowers and a dash of minerals and earth. Insane brightness yet also seems deep. Palate is fresh as a daisy with gorgeous berry and cherry fruit and terrific freshness and energy. Terrific velvet tannins and terrific finishing mineralIty. Very clean, linear and good. Terrifically juicy and gains body and weight as it opens up.
