Better 17’s than 16’s here and it’s really remarkable. Gorgeous nose of super aromatic tar, florals, roses, deep cherry fruit, candied cherries and so precise. Palate is so pure, balanced and has wonderful sweet tannins and that are silky yet substantial. Buffered by terrific minerality. Concentrated and intense and like all 17’s this needs mega air as 17’s come tight out of the bottle with significant tannin. After 15 minutes the tannin fruit conversion is awesome! 9.4 to 9.5.

Nov 9th, 2021What a great wine. Wonderful nose. Campfire, cherries, spice, graphite. A bit quiet but the detail and aromatic precision are stunning. What a palate. So deep, so rich, so pure, so complex, big 17 tannins and wonderful balance and freshness. So long. This is exquisite. Once nose opens up I cannot wait. So much energy and precision. Structured for the long haul. This is brilliant now but needs air. So much more to say. Nose is now getting mintier. Like a wild mint. This is fantastic! I’ll be back.
Really has opened up. Super floral, tree bark, incense and spice. Just so great. Ripe and silky and super elite. This is beautiful. So elegant and structured. Amazing purity and depth. 9.4 to 9.6.
