Awesome, expressive nose of big ripe cherries, mulling spices, cinnamon, cardamon, clove and bitter citrus. Such an aromatic nose. Tiny berry fruit intensity and just awesome depth. Palate is spicey, sweet and super fresh. Wonderful spice and oak accents. Terrific length. Supple texture and lovely sweet fruit and oak. Very fresh and complex. Air is this estate’s friend so I’ll be back. 9.3 for now.

9.3 to 9.4 overnight. - Big, ripe cherry nose. Spice and less oak than yesterday. Elegant, juicy and complex. Very elegant and pure. Zero oak today after significant wood yesterday. lovely freshness and length. World class.

First taste of 15 Walters! Vey exciting. What a youthful, packed and dense nose. Big, ripe red and black cherries and berries. Spice, flowers and a tiny berry fruit intensity. What a great nose. Whirling spices. Stunning. Palate is incredible. So juicy and concentrated with terrific acidity and a compelling sweetness. This is ridiculous. Gamey, meaty finish. Such delicacy and finesse. There is NO way this is that good. But my score is my score. Incredible. This is brilliant.
