Mineral, super complex aromas, feral, floral, concentrated and textural like nothing else. Amazing structure. So delineated and like a laser. An amazing juxtaposition between juicy fruit, precision and lasers. Yes, lasers.

Nose is complex. Lemon, verbena, smoke, mineral, limestone aromas, super citrus, powerful and concentrated. So texturally sensual. So elegant. This is so refined with a few years of age. Stunning.

This bottle was a bit closed. Starting to get aged characteristics. I’ll try again in a couple of years.

This wine is like the rebellious teen who grew up and got a MacArthur genius grant for Juan Darian. I had it young and it was discombobulated on open. Even now it took a while to settle down. It's genius wine. Genius. Unlike anything I've ever had. Smoky and mineral on the Nose. Just all over crazy on the palate. Acid. Minerals. Menthol or something. Finish is great. Like sucking on a rock drawn from a mountain spring and dipped in lemon. Totally for wine geeks. Will be the best wine of the night at a tasting for professionals. Bought from Fass selections.
